BETTER THAN HEAVEN
What's with all this doom and gloom?
You used to be such, such a laugh
It's only sin, original sin
Corinthians (15:22)
Never been a big fan of things
But I'm growing so fond of you
You
You get sadder the smarter you get
And it's a bore
You get sadder the smarter you get
And it's a bore
Truth is truth
I ain't no bohemian
Much too, much too safe
Much too, much too typical
Much too, much too typical
Much too, much too
You can use your hands
For something else
I’ll take you further
Than the scholars can
Put down your books
And molest me
Heaven is here
Where it needs to be
You get sadder the smarter you get
And it's a bore
You get sadder the smarter you get
And it's a bore
And there was a time
Before we were born
When we stood in the garden
If this world does not turn you on
Well, I've got enough
For the both of us
The both of us
The both of us
And there was a time
Before we were born
When we stood in the garden
If this world does not turn you on
Well, I've got enough
For the both of us
The both of us
