[Verse 1] Obliterated by the times [?] release Count your pennies on the beach Broken by beliefs The lost souls in the bar room [?] [?] poet hunch Faded hippies on the stamp His soul is out to lunch [Verse 2] None of this forever keeps us all afraid It keeps my finger on my pulse It keeps my bills all paid Keeps me running on the spot Keeps me looking at the clock You're a miracle morning light After the pirate ship [?] We are holding on for life Because heaven Heaven is a lie Morning's movies, scratchy eyes I'm f**ed by Friday night Stupid songs [?] So desperate to fight To beat it out the [?] child Flower in the fire The sad night glows with tippy toes With all of those sweet lies Gathered in the downstairs bar We'll make some [?] The history of tapes and times And a million cute confessions From Beverly road to Junction road I'm on the stage tonight The guitar breaks We make mistakes
We are freeze-framed in our own dumb light We are holding on for life Because heaven Heaven is a lie We fall in love with what we were We plan to go back there We still keep those shirts and visions The way we wore our [?] These nights they are our treasures Kept [?] near I'll stand outside and watch the [?] formation of a ruin Every sad song locked inside Too scared to get going We're holding onto life "Cause [?] heaven is a lie [Verse 3] Long after tonight's candles are blown And all the sweethearts have gone home Before the morning kettle sings Before our wrinkles have set in Before that light beckons us home Before the final film is shown Before that last drunk song is sung I'll hold on to your hand I'll hold on to everyone And all we believe in And I'm holding on to life 'Cause heaven Heaven is a lie We're holding onto life 'Cause heaven Heaven is a lie
