Lyrics
She's sliding, she's sliding down to the depth of the world
She's fighting, she's fighting the urge to make a
Heaven can wait
And hell's too far ago
Somewhere between
What you need and what you know
And they're trying to drive that escalator into the ground
She's hiding, she's hiding on a battleship of baggage and bones
There's thunder, there's lightening in an avalanche of faces you know
Heaven can wait
And hell's too far ago
Somewhere between
What you need and what you know
And they're trying to drive that escalator into the ground
You left your credentials in a greyhound station
With a first aid kit and a flashlight
Going to a desert unknown
Heaven can wait
And hell's too far ago
Somewhere between
What you need and what you know
And they're trying to drive that escalator into the ground
Testo
Sta scivolando, sta scivolando giù nella profondità del mondo
Sta combattendo, sta combattendo l'impulso di fare un
Il paradiso può attendere
E l'inferno è troppo lontano fa
Da qualche parte tra
Cosa ti serve e cosa sai
E stanno cercando di spingere quella scala mobile nel terreno
Si nasconde, si nasconde su una nave da guerra di bagagli e ossa
C'è un tuono, c'è un fulmine in una valanga di volti che conosci
Il paradiso può attendere
E l'inferno è troppo lontano fa
Da qualche parte tra
Cosa ti serve e cosa sai
E stanno cercando di spingere quella scala mobile nel terreno
Hai lasciato le tue credenziali in una stazione di levriero
Con un kit di primo soccorso e una torcia elettrica
Andare in un deserto sconosciuto
Il paradiso può attendere
E l'inferno è troppo lontano fa
Da qualche parte tra
Cosa ti serve e cosa sai
E stanno cercando di spingere quella scala mobile nel terreno
