"Heaven Is A Chandelier" lyrics
Go and get your drugs, honey
Go and get your drugs
I am fond of those things too
Some of them so much
Give away my whole life to 'em
Give away my bed
Come about on some strange couch
Just wishing that I were dead
Ashley hitched from Houston
She was raped in Abilene
Beaten with a bottle
As the night laid mute her screams
When she finally reached here
She was happy as can be
There's a bright light shining in the big blue sky
And I never know what it means
And I can't help singing dirges on the ides of every month
Heaven is a chandelier
But don't all look up at once
I go down to the park to give away my cigarettes
I go down to the park where I sit and wait for death
But I can't wait forever with the breezes and the bums
The soldiers came to shoot us down but Jesus jammed the guns
And when the bottles all were empty, when he called us to our feet
He promised us salvation and some real nice things to eat
We were good then 'til the morning when the daylight did us in
Oh the past it picked our pretty little pockets, it gets thirsty for revenge
And I can't help singing dirges on the ides of every month
Heaven is a chandelier, but don't all look up at once
Oh I can't help singing dirges on the ides of every month
Heaven is a chandelier, but don't all look up at once
Go and get your drugs
I am fond of those things too
Some of them so much
Give away my whole life to 'em
Give away my bed
Come about on some strange couch
Just wishing that I were dead
Ashley hitched from Houston
She was raped in Abilene
Beaten with a bottle
As the night laid mute her screams
When she finally reached here
She was happy as can be
There's a bright light shining in the big blue sky
And I never know what it means
And I can't help singing dirges on the ides of every month
Heaven is a chandelier
But don't all look up at once
I go down to the park to give away my cigarettes
I go down to the park where I sit and wait for death
But I can't wait forever with the breezes and the bums
The soldiers came to shoot us down but Jesus jammed the guns
And when the bottles all were empty, when he called us to our feet
He promised us salvation and some real nice things to eat
We were good then 'til the morning when the daylight did us in
Oh the past it picked our pretty little pockets, it gets thirsty for revenge
And I can't help singing dirges on the ides of every month
Heaven is a chandelier, but don't all look up at once
Oh I can't help singing dirges on the ides of every month
Heaven is a chandelier, but don't all look up at once
