Cruel And Pretty Lyrics - Over The Rhine

He woke 

He knew that he was dying 

He spoke 

And found that he was flying 

Upstairs 

High above the city 

Through the ceiling of the stars 

So cruel and pretty 

Arms spread across the dark river 

The night air causing him to shiver 

Like the fluorescent lights in the Seven Eleven 

Meet me in the backstreets of heaven 

I don't wanna kiss you goodbye 

I don't wanna kiss you goodbye 

Hello, hello, hello, how the time flies 

I don't wanna kiss you goodbye 

He woke 

He knew that he was dying 

He spoke 

And found that he was flying 

Upstairs 

High above the city 

Through the ceiling of the stars 

So cruel and pretty
