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