Heaven Can Wait

She's sliding, she's sliding Down to the dregs of the world She's fighting, she's fighting The urge to make sand of pearls Heaven can wait And hell's too far to go Somewhere between what you need And what you know And they are trying to drive The escalator into the ground She's hiding, she's hiding On a battleship of baggage and bones There's thunder, there's lightning And an avalanche of faces you know. Heaven can wait And hell's too far to go Somewhere between what you need And what you know And they are trying to drive The escalator into the ground And you left your credentials In a Greyhound station With a first aid kit and a flashlight Going to a desert unknown Heaven can wait And hell's too far to go Somewhere between what you need And you know And they are trying to drive The escalator into the ground
