Sheryl Crow - Heartbeat Away lyrics

Leonard put on his sunglasses
And he dialed the telephone
Left a message with his loved ones
"Don't wait up, I won't be home"
He scribbled on some hotel stationery
"Now you see me, now you don't"

He put his money in a briefcase
And he gave it to the man
Who took it to the Cayman Islands
And he buried it in the sand
So when the hackers hacked the system
He'll be on the beach with a
Mai Tai in his hand

Oh, but that's alright yeah, that's okay
When it gets too tight gonna slip away

You got the money, you got the fame
When you see me comin', you'll know my name
Hide in the shadows, 'til your dyin' day
Revelation's a heartbeat away

Well, the devil's in the details
As the details start to leak
So it is as what's predicted
You can feel it on the streets
There ain't no silver in the bank vaults
There's just paper where the money used to be

Even God ain't gonna fix this
You got here all on your own
You bet the president is sweating
While Russia's blowing up the phone
Deny, deny everything
But still, let's throw that rabid dog a bone

Oh, but that's alright yeah, that's okay
When it gets too tight gonna slip away

You got the money, you got the fame
When you see me comin', you'll know my name
Hide in the shadows, 'til your dyin' day
Revelation's a heartbeat away
Heartbeat away, heartbeat away
Heartbeat away
Heartbeat away, heartbeat away
Revelation's a heartbeat away ay

"Well, there's gonna be a new day"
Said the man with the red face
With his finger on a button
As he hums Amazing Grace
And he ponders the eternal
On his private jet as he heads off into space

You got the money, you got the fame
When you see me comin', you'll know my name
Hide in the shadows, 'til your dyin' day
Revelation's a heartbeat away, yeah
You got the money, you got the fame
When you see me comin', you'll know my name
Hide in the shadows, 'til your dyin' day
Revelation's a heartbeat away
Heartbeat away, heartbeat away
Heartbeat away
Heartbeat away, heartbeat away
Revelation's a heartbeat away
Heartbeat away, yeah
