Walk in Heaven
I guess it's time pack it in and leave, now
no matter what the price in pride or pain
you'll hurt me just as often as I let you
till I admit I've lost more than I've gained
and the stars are dim in the night, above the city
where the streetlights lead the lost into a maze
when you're hungover at dawn and you need the curtains drawn
I'll be the loss that you'll regret all of your days
because we don't have a future together
I don't foresee a fortune to tell
when I'm gone I hope I walk in heaven
but I hope you burn in hell...
the music's a reminder of the good times
though now those memories just make me fume
you said that I looked better with the lights off
and while I worked, well you would sleep till noon
and the cars pass by, each driver in their own world
none will meet until someone is hurt
when the ambulance is gone, and the spectators move on
death and pretty women love to flirt.....
because we don't have a future together
I don't foresee a fortune to tell
when I'm gone I hope I walk in heaven
but I know that you will burn in hell...
tonight I broke a bottle for the old times
I used to like to walk on broken glass
my love is now infected with hatred
and the chance to hurt is one that I can't pass
I've lost myself in the patterns of this city
they haul the trash away just once a week
when the garbageman is gone and it starts to rain at dawn
the end of another day is all I seek....
but we don't have a future together
I don't foresee a fortune to tell
when I'm gone I hope I walk in heaven
somehow I know you will burn in hell...
