Closest Thing to Heaven
Twenty-eight days of rainFlash floods in FebruaryBack in our boats againBath water and the baby
What am I gonna do?There's been a lot of drinkingLookin' at ghosts of youWhile all the world is sinking
Ten thousand miles into the atmosphereMy body shakesIs there a welcome here?
Closest thing to HeavenHow do you do it?Closest thing to Heaven, Heaven
Throw your arms round the worldMake love your destinationHere we go boys and girlsAct like a generation
Give me that ball and chainBy now it must be hurtingDragging your feet againJust like a beast of burden
When one and one and one and one make twoI know I'm high because I've captured youYeah
Closest thing to HeavenYeah, it's youClosest thing to Heaven, Heaven
Look the world right in the eyeEat the countries that are making billionsSweet as homemade apple pieSaved by crumbs for all the starving millions, yeah
Closest thing to HeavenWho! Hey, yeahClosest thing to HeavenHow do you do it?
Closest thing to HeavenWho! Hey! Hey!Closest thing to HeavenClosest thing to Heaven
