The Back Door to Heaven

[Verse 1]

My eyes are stuck on sleepless dreams

This world is never what it seems

We've sold it short, it's what were taught

Lost it in the living

[Pre-Chorus]

Allegiance is the strangest thing

It's grown too fast, grown some wings

It's flown away

Flown away

[Chorus]

The back door to heaven is open wide to me

So when I'm wrapped up tight in a hell of the night

Can I still decide to be

Where the, the mad road goes

'Neath the shapeless glow?

Or will we swap ourselves like children

For the value of our innocence?

A gentleman's a golden card and a red, red rose

[Verse 2]

Transformed by some strange alchemy

You stand apart and point to me

Then point to something I can't see

It's a lousy rainbow anyway

[Pre-Chorus]

Allegiance is the strangest thing

It's grown too fast, grown some wings

It's flown away

Flown away

[Chorus]

The back door to heaven is open wide to me

So when I'm wrapped up tight in a hell of the night

Can I still decide to be

Where the, the mad road goes

'Neath the shapeless glow?

Will we swap ourselves like children

For the value of our innocence?

A gentleman's a golden card and a red, red rose

[Verse 3]

Your cheating heart will choose a way

To borrow, burn and throw away

Tomorrow same as yesterday

It's a lousy rainbow anyway

[Chorus]

The back door to heaven is open wide to me

So when I'm wrapped up tight in a hell of the night

Can I still decide to be

Where the, the mad road goes

'Neath the shapeless glow?

Or will we swap ourselves like children

For the value of our innocence?

A gentleman's a golden card and a red, red rose
