Heaven
The Thing Lyrics
You, tall glass of you, tumbling through
Trying to reach you baby
New, sparkling new, yet to be used
Wait till you meet me baby
Heaven knows, heaven knows my way
I propose, heaven knows my name
Broke, tapped out and broke
Stacked full of notes
Nothing but IOU's and sin
Devilish grin, where to begin
Start from the bottom baby
Heaven knows, heaven knows my way
I propose, heaven knows my name
Oh I propose, heaven knows my name
But they don't say
Heaven knows
Oh heaven knows Heaven knows
I got the shivers, a touch of consumption
Irresistible urges in me
Doctors are stumped, asked me for symptoms
I told em it's weird, weird cos I can hear drums
Sexy ass drums
And my heads rollin', ooh like a rollin' bass line
And I got this growling, growling deep within like growling guitars, yeah
Heaven knows, heaven knows my way
Heaven knows, heaven knows my name
Oh I propose, heaven knows my name
Devil knows my name, calls it every day
And my phone wont stop ringing
I get my kicks from sinning
Don't come around here any more I'll catch you DOA
Trying to reach you baby
New, sparkling new, yet to be used
Wait till you meet me baby
Heaven knows, heaven knows my way
I propose, heaven knows my name
Broke, tapped out and broke
Stacked full of notes
Devilish grin, where to begin
Start from the bottom baby
Heaven knows, heaven knows my way
I propose, heaven knows my name
Oh I propose, heaven knows my name
But they don't say
Heaven knows
Oh heaven knows Heaven knows
I got the shivers, a touch of consumption
Irresistible urges in me
Doctors are stumped, asked me for symptoms
I told em it's weird, weird cos I can hear drums
Sexy ass drums
And my heads rollin', ooh like a rollin' bass line
And I got this growling, growling deep within like growling guitars, yeah
Heaven knows, heaven knows my way
Heaven knows, heaven knows my name
Oh I propose, heaven knows my name
Devil knows my name, calls it every day
And my phone wont stop ringing
I get my kicks from sinning
Don't come around here any more I'll catch you DOA
