Heaven Can Wait - Charlotte Gainsbourg

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 the escalator into the ground

She's hiding  she's hiding
On a battleship of baggage and bones

There's thunder  there's lightning
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 are trying to drive the 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 are trying to drive the escalator into the ground
