Whatever could have made you
So sure of yourself
Whispers in a ruined house
The leaves that sing with no sound
There's no flowers growing
In the place where we are right
The kids and their questions
It'll keep you up all night
Who am I away from the fire
With no flames on my face?
He comes and sits beside me
And asks me: What is this place?
I get higher and higher
The lower I go
This upside world
With a knife at its throat
We're all tumblers and beggars
Your mother and I will show you
Gangsters and angels
Darling come and see
The cross or the machine?
It's always the same choice
The best I ever met
Had nothing and gave it all away
We'd rather be ruined than change
And die in our dread
But love your crooked neighbour
With your crooked heart
Reach across again
Here's where heaven starts
I end where you begin
With my hand over your heart
Reach across again
Here's where heaven starts
I'm with you till the end
With my hand over your heart
Reach across again
Here's where heaven starts
I end where you begin
With my hand over your heart
Reach across again
Here's where heaven starts
I end where you begin
With my hand over your heart
Reach across again
Here's where heaven starts
I end where you begin
With my hand over your heart
Reach across again
Here's where heaven starts
I end where you begin
With my hand over your heart
Reach across again
Here's where heaven starts
I end where you begin
With my hand over your heart
