Heaven Can Wait (Live) Lyrics by Charlotte Gainsbourg

Stage Whisper

2011

She's sliding, she's sliding down to the dregs of the world
She's fighting, she's fighting the urge to make sand out of pearls
Heaven can wait
And hell's too far to go
Somewhere between
What you need and what you know
And they're trying to drive that escalator into the ground
She's hiding, she's hiding on a battleship of baggage and bones
There's thunder, there's lightening and an avalanche of faces you know
Heaven can wait
And hell's too far to go
Somewhere between
What you need and what you know
And they're trying to drive that escalator into the ground
You left your credentials in a greyhound station
With a first aid kit and a flashlight
Going to a desert unknown
Heaven can wait
And hell's too far to go
Somewhere between
What you need and what you know
And they're trying to drive that escalator into the ground
