lyrics

It`s been a long way to heaven, it`s been a long ride home
Well, I used to know how to get there, but I don`t anymore
Bottled with beer and cigarette ashes, driving on hot summer nights
Yeah, why ever bother going to bed when we`re all passing through the light

Among the ruins of sleep, in a life outside my own
It`s morning in the ruins of our world
Yeah, it`s only ever mentioned in passing, but it stands there just the same
When it`s morning in the ruins of our world

Walk with a stagger, head stuck in a beat, a pair of golden eyes
With boundless love for everything, yeah, I’ve come to love your name
The sun the heart of tenderness, the sun the heart of life
The earth beneath you, resting and old - Yeah, it breathes with just one big sigh

When the sun has set on the wooden cross and it`s time for us to go
I`ll drag out every second, warm my hands in the afterglow
Though my head feels dark and heavy, I`m steady like never before
Standing naked at the exit of some kind of gilded dream

Traded away every second for a life outside my own
It`s morning in the ruins of our world
Yeah, and it`s only ever mentioned in passing, but it holds up just the same
When it`s morning in the ruins of our world
