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 |
