Closest Thing to Heaven

28 days of rain

Flash floods in February

Back in our boats again

Bath water and the baby

What am I gonna do?

There's been a lot of drinking

Looking at ghosts of you

While all the world is sinking

10.000 miles into the atmosphere

My body shakes

Is there a welcome here?

Closest thing to heaven

How do you do it?

Closest thing to heaven, heaven

Throw your arms round the world

Make love your destination

Here we go boys and girls

Act like a generation

Give me that ball and chain

By now it must be hurting

Dragging your feet again

Just like a beast of burden

When one and one and one make two

I know I'm high because I've captured you,

yeah...

Closest thing to heaven

Yeah, it's you

Closest thing to heaven, heaven

Look the world right in the eye

Eat the countries that are making billions

Sweet as homemade apple pie

Saved by crumbs for all the starving millions, yeah

Closest thing to heaven

Closest thing to heaven

How do you do it?

Closest thing to heaven

Uhh, hey

Closest thing to heaven
