CHARLOTTE GAINSBOURG LYRICS - Heaven Can Wait

"Heaven Can Wait"



She's sliding, she's sliding down to the depth of the world

She's fighting, she's fighting the urge to make a....



Heaven can wait

and hell's too far ago

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 in an avalanche of faces you know



Heaven can wait

and hell's too far ago

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..... unknown



Heaven can wait

and hell's too far ago

Somewhere between

what you need and what you know

And they're trying to drive that escalator into the ground
