Warren Zevon - The Indifference of Heaven lyrics
[Warren Zevon - The Indifference of Heaven lyrics]
Time marches on, time stands still
Time on my hands, time to kill
Blood on my hands and my hand's in the till
Down at the 7-Eleven
Gentle rain falls on me
And all life folds back into the sea
We contemplate eternity
Beneath the vast indifference of Heaven
The past seems realer than the
Present to me now
I've got memories to last me
When the sky is gray, the way it is today
I remember the times when I was happy
Same old sun, same old moon
It's the same old story, same old tune
They all say someday soon
My sins will all be forgiven
A gentle rain falls on me
And all life folds back into the sea
We contemplate eternity
Beneath the vast indifference of Heaven
They say, "Everything's all right"
They say, "Better days are near"
They tell us, "These are the good times"
But they don't live around here
Billy and Christie don't
And Bruce and Patti don't
They don't live around here
I had a girl, now she's gone
She left town, town burned down
Nothing left but the sound
Of the front door closing forever
A gentle rain falls on me
And all life folds back into the sea
We contemplate eternity
Beneath the vast indifference of Heaven
The vast indifference of Heaven
Time on my hands, time to kill
Blood on my hands and my hand's in the till
Down at the 7-Eleven
Gentle rain falls on me
And all life folds back into the sea
We contemplate eternity
Beneath the vast indifference of Heaven
The past seems realer than the
Present to me now
I've got memories to last me
When the sky is gray, the way it is today
I remember the times when I was happy
Same old sun, same old moon
It's the same old story, same old tune
They all say someday soon
My sins will all be forgiven
A gentle rain falls on me
And all life folds back into the sea
We contemplate eternity
Beneath the vast indifference of Heaven
They say, "Everything's all right"
They say, "Better days are near"
They tell us, "These are the good times"
But they don't live around here
Billy and Christie don't
And Bruce and Patti don't
They don't live around here
I had a girl, now she's gone
She left town, town burned down
Nothing left but the sound
Of the front door closing forever
A gentle rain falls on me
And all life folds back into the sea
We contemplate eternity
Beneath the vast indifference of Heaven
The vast indifference of Heaven
