If There's A Heaven Above Lyrics - Love And Rockets

Throw the world off your shoulders tonight Mr. Smith 

Throw the world off your shoulders tonight Mr. Smith 

He's been looking now for a long time 

It seems the more he looks the less he wants to see 

He turned to the west for a long time 

He turned to the east then he turned to the west again 

If there's a heaven above, in the meantime 

If there's a heaven above, let it be near 

If there's a heaven above, in the meantime 

Then let it be near, let it be near to me 

We've been talking now for a long time 

It seems the more we speak the less we seem to say 

If there's a hell below in the meantime 

Then let us shut up unless we want to pray 

He saw everything real too clearly 

So close that the bones would show 

And to see everything so clearly 

Isn't always the best thing you know 

If there's a heaven above, in the meantime 

If there's a heaven above then let it be near 

If there's a heaven above, in the meantime 

Let it be near, let it be near to me 

Throw the world off your shoulders tonight Mr. Smith 

Throw the world off your shoulders tonight Mr. Smith 

Throw the world off your shoulders tonight Mr. Smith 

Throw the world off your shoulders tonight Mr. Smith 

Throw the world off your shoulders tonight Mr. Smith 

Throw the world off your shoulders tonight Mr. Smith
