lyrics

Everyone Swears

Back track and forth all sixes and sevens
climbing up the walls trying to get into heaven.
Wearing smart clothes for some final reunion
stolen from a line at the end of the line.
Wake up sunny gotta put on your glad rags
covering the tracks and the cracks in a soul that's
eaten by the dark and torn by the light
at the end of the road at the end of the night.

Heaven is a place where everyone swears.
Heaven is a place where everyone can swear.
Give up trying on that which doesn't fit you
get it right but you're trying just to get back home.
Oh you're so alone.

Pulling up the socks need a routine rain-check
keep the chin up high without hitting the deck
falling off the wheel moving in slow motion
dare to never try is the dry-teared cry.
Sitting pretty high in the pecking order
where is heaven sent did it even bother
to come on down round dry and sublime
giving up hope at the end of the road.
Back track and forth all sixes and sevens
climbing up the walls trying to get into heaven.
Wearing smart clothes for some final reunion
stolen from a line at the end of the line.

Heaven is a place where everyone swears.
Heaven is a place where everyone can swear.
Give up trying on that which doesn't fit
you get it right but you're trying just to get back home.
Oh you're so alone.
