The Back Door To Heaven Lyrics - Aztec Camera

My eyes are stuck on sleepless dreams 

This world is never what it seems 

We've sold it short, it's what we're taught 

Lost it in the living 

Allegiance is the strangest thing 

It's grown too fast, grown some wings 

It's flown away, flown away 

The back door to heaven is open wide to me 

So when I'm wrapped up tight in the hell of the night 

Can I still decide to be where the, the mad road goes 

'Neath the shapeless glow? 

Or will we swop ourselves like children 

For the value of our innocence? 

A gentleman's a golden card and a red, red rose 

Transformed by some strange alchemy 

You stand apart and point to me 

Then point to something I can't see 

It's a lousy rainbow anyway 

Allegiance is the strangest thing 

It's grown too fast, grown some wings 

It's flown away, flown away 

The back door to heaven is open wide to me 

So when I'm wrapped up tight in the hell of the night 

Can I still decide to be where the, the mad road goes 

'Neath the shapeless glow? 

Or will we swop ourselves like children 

For the value of our innocence? 

A gentleman's a golden card and a red, red rose 

Your cheating heart will choose a way 

To borrow, burn and throw away 

Tomorrow's same as yesterday 

It's a lousy rainbow anyway 

The back door to heaven is open wide to me 

So when I'm wrapped up tight in the hell of the night 

Can I still decide to be where the, the mad road goes 

'Neath the shapeless glow? 

Or will we swop ourselves like children 

For the value of our innocence? 

A gentleman's a golden card and a red, red rose
