Closest Thing to Heaven Songtext
von Tears for Fears

Twenty eight days of rain
Flashfloods in February
Back in our boats again
Bath water and the baby
What I′m I gonna do

There's been a lot of drinking
Looking at ghosts of you
While all the world is sinking
Ten thousand miles into the atmosphere
My body shakes, is there a welcome here

Closest thing to heaven
How do you do it
Closest thing to heaven
Heaven, heaven


Throw your arms around the world
Make love your destination
Here we go boys and girls
Act like a generation
Give me that ball and chain
By now it must be hurting
Dragging your feet again

Just like a beast of burden
When one and one make two
I know I′m high because I've captured you (yeah)
Closest thing to heaven (yes you)
Closest thing to heaven
Heaven, heaven

Look the world right in the eye
Eat the countries that are making billions
Sweet as homemade apple pie
Save the crumbs for all the starving millions

Closest thing to heaven
Closest thing to heaven
How do you do it
Closest thing to heaven
Ooh, hey
Closest thing to heaven
