Deep in a corner
of the night we were
lying in the middle
of a road
Counting the planes
as they flew by
inconceivable
imagining them go
And drunk we set
the world to rights
as we fell
and hit our heads
upon the curb
You make me laugh
until I die
Can you think of
any better way to choke?
Stories told to me
and stories told to you
and did you ever feel
like they were
ringing true?
And all their words
were glory well they
always sounded empty
when we're looking up
for heaven
Looking up for heaven
and way down here
upon the ground
when we're lying
in the dirt
There's no looking up
for heaven
looking up for heaven
Not everything
had gone to plan
but we made
the best of what
we had you know
Passing the drink
from hand to hand
we admit we really
know nothing at all
Stories told to me
and stories told to you
and was it feeling real
and were they
ringing true?
And all their words
were glory well they
always sounded empty
when we're looking up
for heaven
Looking up for heaven
and way down here
upon the ground
when we're lying
in the dirt
There's no looking up
for heaven
looking up for heaven
I'll take my chances
on the curb here with you
we watched the planes
leave us behind
on the curb here with you
We watched the planes
leave us behind and
and then you put your
hand in mine and
pulled me back from
things divine stop
Looking up for heaven
waiting to be buried
And all their words
were glory well they
always sounded empty
when we're looking up
for heaven
Looking up for heaven
and way down here
upon the ground
when we're lying
in the dark
There's no looking up
for heaven
looking up for heaven
