The Legendary Pink Dots - Pennies for Heaven lyrics
[The Legendary Pink Dots - Pennies for Heaven lyrics]
Chasing the carrion
We watched the silver bird explode we tiptoed
Through the barrier of smoke and took a hand
But found it unconnected we
Were dining on the wreckage
White napkins round our necks, we took our
Plastic spoons and ate we ate
Until we couldn't move, 'til sunset turned
The desert red and startled
Souls ascended to Oblivion
A fat man with a guilty face held back
And tried to hide his case as
Angels chanted, "You can't take it
With you" So we're told, heaven's
Paved with gold-but it HAS
To come from somewhere?!
Paradise it has it's price we're
Forced to crawl through needle's
Eyes our price our choice we
Rarely make the right one
We watched the silver bird explode we tiptoed
Through the barrier of smoke and took a hand
But found it unconnected we
Were dining on the wreckage
White napkins round our necks, we took our
Plastic spoons and ate we ate
Until we couldn't move, 'til sunset turned
The desert red and startled
Souls ascended to Oblivion
A fat man with a guilty face held back
And tried to hide his case as
Angels chanted, "You can't take it
With you" So we're told, heaven's
Paved with gold-but it HAS
To come from somewhere?!
Paradise it has it's price we're
Forced to crawl through needle's
Eyes our price our choice we
Rarely make the right one
