Heaven Is a Chandelier

Go ahead and get your drugs, honey Go ahead and get your drugs I am fond of those too Some of them so much Give away my life to 'em Give away my bed Come about on some strange couch Just wishing that I were dead Ashley hitched from Houston She was raped in Abilene Beaten with a bottle As the night laid mute her screams When she finally reached here She was happy as can be There's a bright light shining in the big blue sky And I never know what it means And I can't help singing dirges on the ides of every month Heaven is a chandelier But don't all look up at once I got down to the park to give away my cigarettes I go down to the park where I sit and wait for death But I can't wait forever with the breezes and the bums The soldiers came to shoot us down but Jesus jammed the guns And when the bottles all were empty, he called us to our feet He promised us salvation and some real nice things to eat, We were good then 'til the morning when daylight did us in Oh the past it picked our pretty little pockets, it gets thirsty for revenge And I can't help singing dirges on the ides of every month Heaven is a chandelier, but don't all look up at once Oh I can't help singing dirges on the ides of every month Heaven is a chandelier, but don't all look up at once
