Perfection In A Perfect Land

You won’t see the tears
falling from my eyes
because you’re always looking
in the wrong place.

When you're not feeling whole, missing some piece,
that’s how you know
it’s time to take time and wait.

For the love of heaven.
For the love of heaven.
For the ever-loving
love of heaven.

I was a bad boy
from right to left.
I was a maniac
to attack the pearly gates.

And I got plenty of green
to do it all.
To do everything I did.
To take everything I saw.

To put everything in a box
behind the bassinet
in the musty attic.

For the love of heaven,
we met down in the canyon.
Two holy hearts
twice-betrayed,
parched for love;
love and ice water.

This life for love and ice water.
Ice water in my blood.
Ever-loving love of heaven.
