There is a heaven that is undersung
And when you’re starting you’re always on the bottom rung
Looking up into the sky
And people act like they’re never going to die
Spending cash and polluting
Never really knowing who they’re shooting
When they fire the gun
And if we are all one
Then why does the mist fall on the hardest head
To wake us when we’re lying in bed
And they had me tied up in chains
Straitjacket arms for my pains
And tear stains
And I wonder is it taboo to write
About days when the going was shite
As I sat in the horrors in the bay
In Dean Swift hoping something would take me away
And a foreign shore might beckon
But only something which which I had to reckon
As I seek to avoid
Sit in the “activity room” with the boys
And I brought in my guitar
Because I wanted them to know what you are
But no one seems to realise
Their life is flashing before their eyes
And I say nothing is real
So they hand me something to quench what I feel
And I can’t cut that deal
But with repetition they wear me down
And the doctors don’t wear a gown
Or shirts and ties
Jackets to go with the goodbyes
Only the young ones are in scrubs
The pretty ones and I fell in love
Silently then in the noise
The summer I lost one of the boys
