Closest Thing to Heaven

28 days of rain
Flashfloods in February
Back in our boats again
Bathwater 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

Ten thousand 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 and one make two
I know I'm high because I've captured you, yeah

Closest thing to heaven
Yes, 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
Save the crumbs for all the starving millions, yeah

Closest thing to heaven, woo
Closest thing to heaven
How do you do it?
Closest thing to heaven, woo, hey
Hey

Closest thing to heaven
Closest thing to heaven
