Heaven Help Us
Hear the sound The angels come screaming Down your voice I hear you’ve been bleeding Make your choice They say you’ve been pleading Someone save us
Heaven help us now Come crashing down And hear the sound As your falling down
And at this old hotel But I can’t tell if I’ve been breathing or sleeping or screaming or waiting For the man to call or maybe All of the above Cause mostly I’ve been sprawled on these cathedral steps While spitting out the blood and screaming Someone save us
Heaven help us now Come crashing down And hear the sound As your falling down
And will you pray for me Make them say your name Will you lay for me And make a saint of– ‘Cause I’ll give you all the nails you need Cover me in gasoline Wipe away those tears of blood again And the punch line to the joke is asking Someone save us
Heaven help us now Come crashing down And hear the sound As you fall
(Overlay of these two verses) You don’t know a thing about my sins How the misery begins You don’t know So I’m burning, I’m burning You don’t know a thing about my sins How the misery begins You don’t know So I’m burning, I’m burning, I’m burning, I’m burning
And would you pray for me And make me say your name And will you lay for me And make a saint of me ‘Cause I’ll give you all the nails you need Cover me in gasoline again
