Charlotte Gainsbourg Heaven Can Wait lyrics

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 what you know
And they're trying to drive the escalator into the ground

She's hiding, she's hiding
on a battleship of baggage and bones
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 what you know
And they are trying to drive the 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 to go
somewhere between what you need and what you know
And they are trying to drive the escalator into the ground
