A Glimpse of Heaven.

I caught a glimpse of heaven
Through azure skies
A paradise - "Eleven"
Where no one cries
A refuge for the broken hearted
But, now I'm bluer than before I saw it
Know what I'll never have
A glimpse of heaven.

I heard the bells of freedom
Pealing in the night
A sound so clear and pure
Like angels taking flight
But, there's a gnawing, bitter-sweet hurt
A photo of god in a T.Rex T-shirt
With his head chopped off
A glimpse of heaven.

(Chorus)
Now I'm tripped up baby
I've gone and lost it
I've got a date with Patti
In Lou Reed's closet. (x2)

(Bridge)
And time - it toys with me
It cuts me off at the knees
And I want to live to see a me
That's free of the me I be.

I saw the jaws of evil
Devour this world
Then throw up on the cosmic
Tilt-A-Whirl
Nothing left - everything destroyed
I close my eyes to receive the void
What do you think I saw?
A glimpse of heaven.

(Chorus x4)
