Everybody Loves A Happy
Ending Lyrics
Closest Thing To Heaven
Lyrics
Everybody Loves A Happy
Ending
Toe the line
Toe the line
Wake up your time is nearly
over
No more the supernova
And no action guaranteed
Wake up you've had an
operation
Ideals above your station
Too much reality
Think about the waste
of time spending
Watching Mother Nature's
knees bending
Everybody loves a happy
ending
Wake up you're on your
own agenda
Give up the great pretender
With baby eyes of green
Wake up you're holding
on to nothing
You know you're only
bluffing
As dead as autumn leaves
Think about the waste
of time spending
Watching Mother Nature's
knees bending
Everybody loves a happy
ending
Don't you just love a
happy ending?
Oh yeah well so do I
And all your love will
shine on everyone
The darkness of the day
A curse in every way
You try to see the light
But you don't know why
Don't know why
They tell you on the phone
To give your God a bone
And grow a set of wings
like a butterfly
The guarding at the gate
Reminds you that you're
late
You try to take your
time
But you toe the line
Toe the line
The children of the world
And daddy's little girl
The grass is always green
on the other side
So stay and breathe new
lies
Wake up, wake up, wake
up, wake up
Wake up, wake up
Everything is moving
faster than you think
(Wake up, wake up)
Your pen is running out
of ink
(Wake up, wake up)
Fill up your bath and
kitchen sink
(Wake up, wake up)
They're really kicking
up the stink
(Wake up, wake up)
You've never found the
missing link
(Wake up, wake up)
You should be happy and
to think
(Wake up, wake up)
You're rending members
out of sync
(Wake up, wake up)
And God is whiskered
as a wink
(Wake up, wake up)
Once more are different
to the brink
Closest Thing To Heaven
28 days of rain
Flash floods in February
Back in our boats again
Bath water and the baby
What am I gonna do?
There's been a lot of
drinking
Looking at ghosts of
you
While all the world is
sinking
10.000 miles into the
atmosphere
My body shakes
Is there a welcome here?
Closest thing to heaven
How do you do it?
Closest thing to heaven,
heaven
Throw your arms round
the world
Make love your destination
Here we go boys and girls
Act like a generation
Give me that ball and
chain
By now it must be hurting
Dragging your feet again
Just like a beast of
burden
When one and one and
one make two
I know I'm high because
I've captured you,
yeah…
Closest thing to heaven
Yeah, it's you
Closest thing to heaven,
heaven
Look the world right in
the eye
Eat the countries that
are making billions
Sweet as homemade apple
pie
Saved by crumbs for all
the starving millions, yeah
Closest thing to heaven
Closest thing to heaven
How do you do it?
Closest thing to heaven
Uhh, hey
Closest thing to heaven |
