Heaven Help Us

 

Hear the sound
The angels come screaming
Down your voice
I hear you’ve been bleeding
Make your choice
They say you’ve been pleading
“Someone save us”

Heaven help us now
Come crashing down
We’ll hear the sound
As you’re falling down

I’m at this old hotel
But I can’t tell if I’ve been breathing or sleeping or screaming or waiting
For the man to call and maybe 
All of the above
‘Cause mostly I’ve been sprawled on these cathedral steps
While spitting out the blood and screaming
“Someone save us”

Heaven help us now
Come crashing down
We’ll hear the sound
As you’re falling down

And will you pray for me
Or make a saint of me
And will you lay for me
Or make a saint of -
 

‘Cause I’ll give you all the nails you need
Cover me in gasoline
Wipe away those tears of blood again
And the punch line to the joke is asking
“Someone save us”

Heaven help us now
Come crashing down
We’ll hear the sound
As you fall
 

And would you pray for me?
(You don't know a thing about my sins
How the misery begins)
Or make a saint of me?
(You don't know
So I'm burning, I'm burning)
And will you lay for me?
(You don't know a thing about my sins
How the misery begins)
Or make a saint of -
(You don't know
‘Cause I'm burning, I'm burning)

‘Cause I'll give you all the nails you need 
(I'm burning, I'm burning again)
Cover me in gasoline again
