Beck - Heaven's Ladder lyrics

Look up heaven's ladder
See the angels climb down
With their eyes all full of stars
And their heads in the clouds
Oblivious to danger
With the failure to keep both
Feet on the ground

And when the sun sets on you, then you go
When you're shackled to the
Shadow and we're ghosts
You could learn to leave the
Long lost days alone down below
Down below where there's nowhere else to go
Just as far as nowhere
Then you're on your own
Anyone who's learned their lesson
And burned their hands
They'll steal someone else's answers
If they can
'Cause cheating is better than guessing
When the answer is that there's
None to be had

And when the sun sets on you, then you go
When you're shackled to the
Shadow and we're ghosts
You could learn to leave your
Long last days alone down below
Down below where there's nowhere else to go
Just as far as nowhere
Then you're on your own

Now that you know how high
The hook and ladder goes
From the highest rung down to the lowest low

And when the sun sets on you, then you go
When you're shackled to the
Shadow and we're ghosts
You could learn to leave your
Long last days alone down below
Down below where there's nowhere else to go
Just as far as nowhere
Then you're on your own
