The Back Door To Heaven

My eyes are stuck on sleepless dreams This world is never what it seems We've sold it short, it's what we're taught Lost it in the living Allegiance is the strangest thing It's grown too fast, grown some wings It's flown away, flown away The back door to heaven is open wide to me So when I'm wrapped up tight in the hell of the night Can I still decide to be where the, the mad road goes 'Neath the shapeless glow? Or will we swop ourselves like children For the value of our innocence? A gentleman's a golden card and a red, red rose Transformed by some strange alchemy You stand apart and point to me Then point to something I can't see It's a lousy rainbow anyway Allegiance is the strangest thing It's grown too fast, grown some wings It's flown away, flown away The back door to heaven is open wide to me So when I'm wrapped up tight in the hell of the night Can I still decide to be where the, the mad road goes 'Neath the shapeless glow? Or will we swop ourselves like children For the value of our innocence? A gentleman's a golden card and a red, red rose Your cheating heart will choose a way To borrow, burn and throw away Tomorrow's same as yesterday It's a lousy rainbow anyway The back door to heaven is open wide to me So when I'm wrapped up tight in the hell of the night Can I still decide to be where the, the mad road goes 'Neath the shapeless glow? Or will we swop ourselves like children For the value of our innocence? A gentleman's a golden card and a red, red rose --- The Back Door to Heaven - Aztec Camera
