Closest Thing to Heaven

Twenty-eight 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 Lookin' 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 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 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 Who! Hey, yeah Closest thing to Heaven How do you do it? Closest thing to Heaven Who! Hey! Hey! Closest thing to Heaven Closest thing to Heaven
