Heaven's Escape

They're showing a movie on the side of the bank Oh, I'm in love with all creation And the warmth of the hood of the car in the dark Oh, I feel I'm an angel in waiting Where time is alive in the dark of your face In the battles we've won, lost or misplaced In the promise of heaven and the hold of its gates Oh, I can see it now But tell me how, my love, will we escape? Oh, how, my love, will we escape? I've been asked now to speak a few words to the crowd Oh, I could be sick any moment There's a crack in the porcelain cup of the sky I broke it and wish I could own it And all that leaks through the where we've driven the nail To hang here suspended so human and frail From atop of this jerry-rigged circus in jail That's folding the tent on us now But tell me how, my love, will we escape? Oh how, my love, will we escape? I deserve a much nicer hotel room than this With parking nearer the riot I can look to no man to make me more than I am Though honey, you might want to try it Oh, farewell to arms and to all we might be Farewell to this endless confused reverie Somewhere there's a heaven for you and for me But oh, won't you please tell me now Just how, my love, will we escape? Oh how, my love, will we escape?
