Lyrics Kristin Hersh

Kristin Hersh

Heaven

In the race but out of step

You struggle to hold up your head

Like a river, you fight your own bed

I'm needing backyard sanctuary

I'm on breaktime, where the sissies hang

Looking for oil in the sand

Like a river you gouge out the land

Like a drummer who fights the wrong band

This is heaven, where the sissies hang

A hot shower on a hot day

Water hangs in the air like you stayed

Like you never went down your own drain

I'm doing rain and hurricane

I am airborne

Where the kisses fly

This is heaven and all my friends are there in heaven

this is heaven where the sissies hang
