Sweet Charity

Save me

The heavens have opened

The storm is over

So let's start the parade

Raindrops

Will turn to laughter

Forever after

In your technicolor heartbeat

And they say

That it helps you forget everything

Sweet charity

You drink your poison from a cup of gold

Your gift keeps on giving and giving

Perfect photographs

Of Everest days

And postcard nights

Tearing through the paper walls of time

With sunset eyes

Telethons, Grand Canyon hearts

You numb your mind

With gloves of white and turpentine

Even the bombs and scarecrows will sing!

Sweet charity

Save me

The heavens have opened

And I'm alone

Sweet charity

Save me

The heavens have opened

I'm coming home

Sweet charity

Save me

The asylums have opened

I'm coming home

Sweet charity

I'm home free.
