Lyrics Tryin' To Get To Heaven - David Bowie

Tryin' To Get To Heaven

The air is getting hotter
There’s a rumbling in the sky
I’ve been wading through the high muddy water
With the heat rising through my eyes
Every day, your memory grows dimmer
It doesn’t haunt me like it did before
I’ve been walking through the middle of nowhere
Trying to get to heaven before they close the door
Oh, hey, yeah
Oh, when I was in Missouri
They would not let me be
I had to leave there in a hurry
I only saw what they let me see
