Closest Thing to Heaven

Twenty eight days of rain

Flashfloods in February

Back in our boats again

Bath water and the baby

What I'm I gonna do

There's been a lot of drinking

Looking at ghosts of you

While all the world is sinking

Ten thousand 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, heaven

Throw your arms around 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 make two

I know I'm high because I've captured you (yeah)

Closest thing to heaven (yes you)

Closest thing to heaven

Heaven, heaven

Look the world right in the eye

Eat the countries that are making billions

Sweet as homemade apple pie

Save the crumbs for all the starving millions

Closest thing to heaven

Closest thing to heaven

How do you do it

Closest thing to heaven

Ooh, hey

Closest thing to heaven
