Waterboys - Heaven Gets Closer Every Day lyrics

You are a getaway car, rush of blood to the head

But me, I'm just the covers on top of your bed

You steer in a rear view mirror, make my head swim

I keep you warm and not ask you where you've been

With your backless black dress stuck to the skin

When it's said and done, we're all scrambling

And we're friends, we're friends

Just because we move units

Strike us like matches, 'cuz everyone deserves the flames

We only do it for the scars and stories, not the fame

At least everyone is trying, everyone is shining

Everyone deserves the flames, but it's such a shame

Such a shame

The sounds of this small town make my ears hurt (make my ears hurt)

'Oh yeah, you caught me' But I caught you on worse oh

They say, 'You want a war? You got a war'

But who are you fighting for?

The tides out, the ship's run aground

We drown traitors in shallow water

With your backless black dress stuck to the skin

When it's said and done, we're all scrambling

And we're friends, we're friends

Just because we move units

Strike us like matches, 'cuz everyone deserves the flames

We only do it for the scars and stories, not the fame

At least everyone is trying, everyone is shining

Everyone deserves the flames but it's such a shame

Such a shame

At least everyone is trying, everyone is shining

Everyone deserves the flames but it's such a shame

Such a shame

Strike us like matches, 'cuz everyone deserves the flames

We only do it for the scars and stories, not the fame

At least everyone is trying, everyone is shining

Everyone deserves the flames but it's such a shame
