The New Pornographers - All the Things That Go to Make Heaven and Earth lyrics

All those things that go to
Make heaven and this
Where midnight once was splashed
Across the canvas midnight, who wants a go
Midnight, who lost control and
Found this world

With matter removed of divine dimension
Our time reduced to an honorable mention
This world, which time forgot
This world, it lost control and then saw God

All of the things that go to
Make heaven and earth are here
All of the things that go
To make heaven and earth
Put your new weight in gold
And see what it's worth
All of the things that go to
Make heaven and earth are here
All of the things that go


To make heaven and this
Success was survival and, kid, it still is
Success was survival and, kid, it still is

Did you think up something
He didn't think up?
Crashing into horizons, on the brink of
Success, hurrah
Success, which was survival gone too far

All of the things that go to
Make heaven and earth are here
All of the things that go
To make heaven and earth
Put your new weight in gold
And see what it's worth
All of the things that go to
Make heaven and earth are here
All of the things that go
To make heaven and this
Success was survival and, kid, it still is
Success was survival and, kid, it still is
Success was survival and, kid, it still is
Success was survival and, kid, it still is
