Heaven Can Wait - Charlotte Gainsbourg (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 of pearls

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 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

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
