I want to see you With the pharaoh's curse The apple flower doggerel The batteries burst And I'm out in the city In the typical noise With the suntan ellipse And the filigree of energy What you want and what you need Now I'm down on my knees With a pocket full of widows You can do it down here What you never did there When you feel so untethered From the broken veneer
Don't tell nobody I'm here Don't tell nobody I'm here Now I'm far from the world In your seventh heaven Now I'm far from the world In your seventh heaven
Now you got to let me know Or you got to let me go
I'm gonna take it with me I'm gonna take it down
A second language A burden of hope I've seen it all come clean Like a guillotine rose A photograph A low life laugh We'll shoot for the empire Land in the dust pile I want to wake up In the shadow of a fever pitch With the gold glass heart Sending messages I hear the voice over the phone She pauses Says 'I'll never, never, never go'
Oh can I stay here with you? Oh can I stay here with you? Now I'm dead to the world In your seventh heaven Now I'm dead to the world In your seventh heaven
Now you gotta let me know Or you got to let me go Yea you got to let me know Or you got to let me go I'm gonna take it with me
Someday there might be something better You can change your mind But you can't forget her Someday there might be something better You can change your mind But you can't forget her
So let it rise to the highest high In the satellite sky So let it rise to the highest high In the satellite sky Up to the seventh heaven To your seventh heaven So let it rise, rise, rise To the highest height In the satellite sky
