Closer to Heaven

Alarm, Alarm!

My fears go arm in arm

To the army at war with love

And one day the hero

And one day the foe

Forgiveness tied in yellow round the old oak tree

Turning and take disbelief

Turning into stone

While the century retreats

To the memory repeated in a futuristic world

I get a little bit closer to heaven Shimmering mirage

Like hunger

Like a lesson

Like this must be obsession

There was a flicker in the overhanging night And all the life I’d hidden

Seven maids a milking in a dream of white Trees on the back of the fires’ poison light

I get a little bit closer to heaven Shimmering mirage

Like hunger

Like a lesson

Like this must be obsession

Upon my face a smile

Just a trace, all the while

Thoughts of wasteful waters flow

Alarm! Alarm! My fears go on and on and on and on
