Heaven Knows

… Jimmy’s in the back with a pocket of high
If you listen close you can hear him cry
… Oh Lord, heaven knows, we belong way down below
(Sing it) Oh Lord, heaven knows, we belong way down below
Way down below, way down below
… Judy’s in the front seat picking up trash
Living on the dole, gotta make that cash
Won’t be pretty, won’t be sweet
She’s just sitting here on her feet
… Singing oh Lord, heaven knows, we belong way down below
(Go) Oh Lord, heaven knows, we belong way down below
(Sing) Oh Lord, tell us so, we belong way down below
… Oh Lord, tell us so, we belong way down below
Way down below, way down below
Way down below, way down below
… I’ve had better days, man
I’ve seen better days
I’ve had better ways, man
I know better ways
… One, two, three and four
The devil’s knocking at your door
Caught in the eye of a dead man’s lie
Start your life with your head held high
… Now you’re on your knees with your head hung low
Big man tells you where to go
Tell them it’s good, tell them okay
Don’t do a goddamn thing they say
… Oh Lord, heaven knows, we belong way down below
Oh Lord, tell us so, we belong way down below
… Way down below, way down below
Way down below, way down below
… I’ve seen better ways, man
I know better ways
I’ve seen better days, man
I’ve had better days
… Gina’s in the back with a pocket of high
If you listen close you can hear the crying
… Oh Lord, heaven knows, we belong way down below
Oh Lord, tell us so, we belong way down below
Oh Lord, heaven knows, we belong way down below
… Oh Lord, tell us so, we belong way down below
Way down below, way down below
Way down below, way down below

Echoes

The names of the wraiths are Kevin and Bartholomew.

Overhead the albatross
Hangs motionless upon the air
And deep beneath the rolling waves
In labyrinths of coral caves
The echo of a distant time
Comes willowing across the sand
And everything is green and submarine
And no one showed us to the land
And no one knows the where’s or why’s
But something stirs and something tries
And starts to climb toward the light
Strangers passing in the street
By chance, two separate glances meet
And I am you and what I see is me
And do I take you by the hand
And lead you through the land
And help me understand the best I can?
And no one calls us to move on
And no one forces down our eyes
No one speaks and no one tries
No one flies around the sun
Cloudless everyday
You fall upon my waking eyes
Inviting and inciting me to rise
And through the window in the wall
Come streaming in on sunlight wings
A million bright ambassadors of morning
And no one sings me lullabies
And no one makes me close my eyes
So I throw the windows wide
And call to you across the sky
