The Shadow of Heaven

Don't you think we're something like God?

Angry, tempestuous, human?

We suffer from wide-eyed loneliness

In the sky

I have walked in Heaven

So must talk in Hell

The cruelty of godliness within us

Is his loneliness

Take me wherever you will go, far

To your mind, to your mine, to your street and to your son

Where the cars, and the eyes, and the people are on fire

And your god cries love

I'm going out into madness to wander

I'm going to build a cell up in the sky

And when the world it swims inside of me

Then I'm going to drown

My girl screams in the company of her bedsheets

Whilst I speak with angel in the bar

I'll meet you in the shadow of Heaven

Tomorrow, or in some other life
