Heaven on the Way Down

[Verse 1]
Heaven on the way down
Talk about a prime piece of real estate
Heading all the way down
Yeah, you know it's falling like an interest rate
Jesus calls it even
You can have your heart back no questions asked
A temporary way out
Yeah, heaven's on the way down

[Chorus 1]
Sweet relief
Pulling teeth
Soldiers spy a tinker, tailor, junkie, thief
Holding on
It won't be long
Heaven's on the way down (x2)
Thinking that it's over

[Verse 2]
The tarnished schemes of angels
Nothing like a cherub with a dirty face
Figure all the angles
Brother kill your brother for a parking space
Jesus calls it even
You can have it all back if you want
Yeah, heaven's on the way down
Heaven's on the way down

[Pre-Chorus]
Burn the flag
Yeah-burn it black
Jackie Earle Haley's comet coming back
Soldier on
You read me wrong
Heaven's on the way down
Heaven's on the way down

[Chorus 2]
Sweet relief
Falling free
I can spot a dumb, sick, junkie, thief
Sweetest sound
It's coming 'round
Heaven's on the way down (x2)
Thinking that it's over

It's over, it's over, it's over
