Cruel and Pretty |
He woke |
He knew that he was dying |
He spoke |
And found that he was flying |
Upstairs |
High above the city |
Through the ceiling of the stars |
So cruel and pretty |
Arms spread across the dark river |
The night air causing him to shiver |
Like the fluorescent lights in the Seven Eleven |
Meet me in the backstreets of heaven |
I don’t wanna kiss you goodbye |
I don’t wanna kiss you goodbye |
Hello, hello, hello, how the time flies |
I don’t wanna kiss you goodbye |
He woke |
He knew that he was dying |
He spoke |
And found that he was flying |
Upstairs |
High above the city |
Through the ceiling of the stars |
So cruel and pretty |
Electric lines and wispy jet contrails |
Ships at sea and B&O train rails |
A tunnel of light like the Seven Eleven |
Meet me in the backstreets of heaven |
