Hell Above

I cannot spend another night in this home

I close my eyes and take a breath real slow

The consequence is if I leave I'm alone

But what’s the difference when you beg for love?

As I run through glass in the street

Kerosene hearts carry the name that my father gave me

And take the face of the wolf

'Cause this is a wasteland, my only retreat

With heaven above you, there's hell over me

I met a girl who never looked so alone

Like sugar water in your mouth luke warm

She tied a cherry stem for me with her tongue

We fell in love and now we’re both alone

‘Cause I don’t need any more friends

And another kiss like the fire on pavement

We’ll burn it down to the end

Oh, oh

This is a wasteland, my only retreat

With heaven above you there's hell over me

The water is rusted, the air is unclean.

And then for a second I feel fine

This is a wasteland, my only retreat

I've waited all this night to honor you and say,

"I know it’s hard, but who are you to fall apart on me, on me?"

This is a waste land, my only retreat

With heaven above you there's hell over me

‘Cause this is a waste land my only retreat

With heaven above you there's hell over me

(Said) What about us well, what about me?

Hang from the gallows, asleep in the rain

This is a waste land, my only retreat
