Seventh Heaven

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

Now I’m starting to fall
From your seventh heaven

Now you gotta let me know
Or you got to let me go

Love a love a love a love
