Lyrics

Oh heaven awaits
Ah

You little thing, where you running from?
You’re looking grim pinned against the wall
I’d like to think of being dead with no-one around

And I just think alone
I never overcome
Leave me, leave me ’til I’m lost
I’m one to make things up

Help me if I’m wrong
I’ve been feeding a crutch regarding you and I
It’s quite a shame at large hiding this hate and all
So take a look in these eyes

Lust relieves temporary lies for the living

You’re dead now
Free
You’re dead now
Free
I’m loose like lidocaine
I’m tense and real unsane 
I’m coming to an end
But darling you did your best

Oh heaven awaits
Ah

You little doll, you’ve done nothing wrong
Tongue and cheek but its all made out
I’m getting worse as the evening comes
These night have been long

I know you feel neglect
And the death of a song
Lost in, lost in my own world
And I’m hanging by a thread

I relive the worst only
And I often feel deranged
Lust relieves temporary lies for the living

You’re dead now
Free
You’re dead now
Free
I’m loose like lidocaine
I’m tense and real unsane 
I’m coming to an end
But darling you did your best
