Heaven's Fall

You're driving home,
darkness close behind,
this sleazy solace
so painfully unkind.

It's cold in your apartment,
but you don't really care,
pop a couple of pills;
is your mind all there?

Did you think of what I said
before you fled with appall?
Looking in the rearview
back at Heaven's Fall.

There are no bad men here;
they've retreated into the dark,
tried to gun you down,
but they missed their mark.

Now I'm sitting here all alone
with the mellow jazz, neon signs,
that stage so solitary -
a reminder of the old times.

We danced till the morning light,
never-ending laughter and booze,
now there is no life in these walls...
we've lost everything there is to lose.

I walk to your cold dressing room,
there's a warm picture on the wall,
I can't help but smile...
our troubles used to be so small.

Come back my darling baby,
this is where we atone.
I will be your fighting angel...
if you just answer your phone.

These ghosts of the past,
spirits burn like fire;
no more glass after glass -
I drowned that desire.

Headlights through the window,
footsteps in the rain.
Here, I got the door...
let me deal with your pain.

Wipe away your tears,
time to stand from the squall.
Drop the money and drugs,
forever Heaven's Fall.
