Heaven Lyrics - Kristin Hersh

In the race but out of step 

You struggle to hold up your head 

Like a river, you fight your own bed 

I'm needing backyard sanctuary 

I'm on breaktime, where the sissies hang 

Looking for oil in the sand 

Like a river you gouge out the land 

Like a drummer who fights the wrong band 

This is heaven, where the sissies hang 

A hot shower on a hot day 

Water hangs in the air like you stayed 

Like you never went down your own drain 

I'm doing rain and hurricane 

I am airborne 

Where the kisses fly 

This is heaven and all my friends are there in heaven 

this is heaven where the sissies hang
