Deep in a corner of the night
~#**************#~
We were lying in the middle of the road
~#**************#~
Counting the planes as they flew by
~#**************#~
Inconceivable imagining them go
~#**************#~
And drunk we set the world to rights
~#**************#~
As we fell and hit our heads upon the curb
~#**************#~
You make me laugh until I die
~#**************#~
Can you think of any better way to choke?
~#**************#~
[Pre-Chorus]
~#**************#~
Stories told to me and stories told to you
~#**************#~
Did you ever feel like they were ringing true?
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
And all their words for glory, well, they always sounded empty
~#**************#~
When were looking up for heaven, looking up for heaven
~#**************#~
Way down here upon the ground when were lying in the dirt
~#**************#~
Theres no looking up for heaven, looking up for heaven
~#**************#~
[Verse 2]
~#**************#~
Not everything had gone to plan
~#**************#~
But we made the best of what we had, you know
~#**************#~
Passing the drink from hand to hand
~#**************#~
We admit we really know nothing at all
~#**************#~
[Pre-Chorus]
~#**************#~
Stories told to me and stories told to you
~#**************#~
And was it feeling real? And were they ringing true?
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
And all their words for glory, well, they always sounded empty
~#**************#~
When were looking up for heaven, looking up for heaven
~#**************#~
And way down here upon the ground when were lying in the dirt
~#**************#~
Theres no looking up for heaven, looking up for heaven
~#**************#~
[Bridge]
~#**************#~
Ill take my chances on the curb here with you
~#**************#~
We watch the planes leave us behind
~#**************#~
On the curb here with you
~#**************#~
We watch the planes leave us behind
~#**************#~
And, and then you put your hand in mine
~#**************#~
And pulled me back from things divine
~#**************#~
Stop looking up for heaven
~#**************#~
Waiting to be buried
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
And all their words for glory, well, they always sounded empty
~#**************#~
When were looking up for heaven, looking up for heaven
~#**************#~
And way down here upon the ground when were lying in the dirt
~#**************#~
Theres no looking up for heaven, looking up… (Looking up for heaven)
~#**************#~
