Closest thing to Heaven
How do you do it?
I know I'm high because I've captured you
What am I gonna do?
Lookin' at ghosts of you
My body shakes
Who! Hey, yeah
Act like a generation
Give me that ball and chain
When one and one and one and one make two
Back in our boats again
Closest thing to Heaven
Dragging your feet again
Closest thing to Heaven
Here we go boys and girls
Is there a welcome here?
Closest thing to Heaven
Closest thing to Heaven
Who! Hey! Hey!
Look the world right in the eye
Throw your arms round the world
How do you do it?
Bath water and the baby
Eat the countries that are making billions
Closest thing to Heaven, Heaven
Just like a beast of burden
Closest thing to Heaven
Yeah
By now it must be hurting
Make love your destination
While all the world is sinking
Closest thing to Heaven, Heaven
There's been a lot of drinking
Ten thousand miles into the atmosphere
Sweet as homemade apple pie
Yeah, it's you
Saved by crumbs for all the starving millions, yeah
