Heaven's Fall


Heaven's Fall You're driving home, darkness close behind, this sleazy solace so painfully unkind. It's cold in your apartment, but you don't really care, pop a couple of pills; is your mind all there? Did you think of what I said before you fled with appall? Looking in the rearview back at Heaven's Fall. There are no bad men here; they've retreated into the dark, tried to gun you down, but they missed their mark. Now I'm sitting here all alone with the mellow jazz, neon signs, that stage so solitary - a reminder of the old times. We danced till the morning light, never-ending laughter and booze, now there is no life in these walls... we've lost everything there is to lose. I walk to your cold dressing room, there's a warm picture on the wall, I can't help but smile... our troubles used to be so small. Come back my darling baby, this is where we atone. I will be your fighting angel... if you just answer your phone. These ghosts of the past, spirits burn like fire; no more glass after glass - I drowned that desire. Headlights through the window, footsteps in the rain. Here, I got the door... let me deal with your pain. Wipe away your tears, time to stand from the squall. Drop the money and drugs, forever Heaven's Fall.
