lyrics

crashing down from heaven

she said those things, that she loved me
she said "my heart's within reach"
dragging me down, dragging me down
nothing but a god of deceit

she told me that I wasn't wanted
crashing down from heavenly lies
the devil made plans - said they were mine
you know I wasn't hanging around

crashing down from heaven
down from the skies
light up the night
light up the night
better start watching your eyes

you know I heard them talking
I heard the things that they made up and said
we're all watching the heavens
but that's not the way that we're made
I said black coat
and a black hat
and Shirley wanted to go
I checked my aim
I shot my load
I sent my party away

crashing down from heaven
down from the skies
light up the night
light up the night
better start watching your eyes

you know I'm not so happy
I'm not so happy at all
when my thoughts get like this
they're a secret crab that crawls
breakfast in the ruins
footlights on the cross
I shake my head
watch, it's dead
living in the light of the lost
living in the light of the lost
bringing me down
back to this earth
paradise once lost is found
but when I came
crashing down from heaven
I cut my knees on the ground
yeah, I cut my knees on the ground

a crack-up is the reason I'm calling
why does the rain fall at all?

oh look up there....
