CHARLOTTE GAINSBOURG lyrics - Heaven Can Wait

She's sliding, she's sliding

Down to the dregs of the world

She's fighting, she's fighting

The urge to make sand out of pearls



Heaven can wait

And hell's too far to go

Somewhere between what you need

And you know

And they are trying to drive

The escalator into the ground



She's hiding, she's hiding

On a battleship with baggage to roam

There's thunder, there's lightning

And an avalanche of faces you know.



Heaven can wait

And hell's too far to go

Somewhere between what you need

And you know

And they are trying to drive

The escalator into the ground



And 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 to go

Somewhere between what you need

And you know

And they are trying to drive

The escalator into the ground
