Streets Of Heaven Lyrics - Collider - Sam Roberts

What a way for a life to end 

What a way for a life to begin 

You come out kickin' and cryin' 

You can't afford to lose 

You don't know how to win 

Just don't forget where you came from 

Don't forget who you are 

They're all beatin' the same drum 

You've been playin' guitar 

You hear the angel callin' 

From the streets of heaven 

You go to work in the mornin' 

Get home by eleven 

You're just a drop in the ocean 

So don't rock the boat 'cause heads will roll 

Promises, promises 

Got no control over this 

Promises, promises 

Not much to show except the 

Heavy rocks I've been lifting 

Memories I've been sifting 

My mind is always drifting 

And under me, the sands are shifting 

You hear the angel callin' 

From the streets of heaven 

You go to work in the mornin' 

Get home by eleven 

You're just a drop in the ocean 

So don't rock the boat cause heads will roll 

You're a drop in the ocean, baby 

Don't drift away 

Just a body in motion, baby 

You're food for days 

You're just a drop in the ocean 

So don't rock the boat cause heads will roll 

We're all lyin' awake at night 

We're all givin' the same advice 

We're all sayin' it don't feel right 

We're all rollin' the same ol' dice 

You're always worried about money 

You got the sting but no honey 

They're always puttin' their hooks in me 

They're always cookin' the books on me now 

Just don't forget where you came from 

Don't forget who you are 

They're all beatin' the same drum 

You've been playin' guitar 

You hear the angel callin' 

From the streets of heaven 

You go to work in the morning 

Get home by eleven 

You're just a drop in the ocean 

So don't rock the boat cause heads will roll 

You're a drop in the ocean, baby 

Don't drift away 

Just a body in motion, baby 

You're food for days 

You're just a drop in the ocean 

So don't rock the boat cause heads will roll
