Closer to Heaven Lyrics by Eric Slick

Wiseacre

2020

Alarm, Alarm!
My fears go arm in arm
To the army at war with love
And one day the hero
And one day the foe
Forgiveness tied in yellow round the old oak tree
Turning and take disbelief
Turning into stone
While the century retreats
To the memory repeated in a futuristic world
I get a little bit closer to heaven Shimmering mirage
Like hunger
Like a lesson
Like this must be obsession
There was a flicker in the overhanging night And all the life I’d hidden
Seven maids a milking in a dream of white Trees on the back of the fires’ poison light
I get a little bit closer to heaven Shimmering mirage
Like hunger
Like a lesson
Like this must be obsession
Upon my face a smile
Just a trace, all the while
Thoughts of wasteful waters flow
Alarm! Alarm! My fears go on and on and on and on
