Higher Hell Lyrics - Echo & The Bunnymen

Smack in the middle of today 

Got to learn new words 

Merely got to simply say 

I think we all misheard 

Cracked in the middle of me 

Have to find my heart 

Smiling equates with happy 

But I know they're miles apart 

Just like my lower heaven 

You know so well my higher hell 

When confronted by 

Continuing the course 

Will you open up 

Or do I have to force 

The words right out 

Of your stubborn mouth? 

Stunted of course, 

Guilty in their growth 

Just like my lower heaven 

You know so well my higher hell 

Crashed through the floor today 

I couldn't find my legs 

Suppose you live and learn 

Learn it again and again 

Smack in the middle of today 

Got to find new words 

Merely got to simply say 

I think we all misheard 

Just like my lower heaven 

You know so well my higher hell 

(when confronted by continuing the course) 

(will you open up or do I have to force) 

(the words right out) 

(of your stubborn mouth) 

(stunted of course) 

(guilty in their growth)
