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 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 me say don't leave?

and will you lay for me?

or make us change?



cause I'll give you all the nails you need 

cover me in gasoline 

wipe away those tears of blood again 

and the punchline 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 us say don't leave?

(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 us change?

(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
