Tall man, total stranger in the evening gloom
Echoes from his footsteps in a hotel room
A crumbled up suit, a worn out razor blade
Concrete wrinkles,
he's hiding with shades He's waiting for heaven,
just like me and you
He's waiting for heaven
in the evening gloom
Cultural buildings waving high in the sky Turned on TV,
flashing blue light
A thin man runs on the streets below He picked up the phone,
but there was nobody
home He's waiting for heaven,
just like me and
you He's waiting for heaven, girl,
in the evening
gloom He's waiting for heaven,
it's a long way
to go He's waiting for heaven,
when it's your turn,
you'll know
You can't turn or walk away
This feeling you feel is the pain
If your heart
breaks one day
It leaves a removable stain
Heaven will fix right away
He's waiting for heaven,
just like me and you
He's waiting for heaven
in the evening gloom He's waiting for heaven,
it's your turn too
He's waiting for heaven,
it's a nice place for me and you
I heard an ancient girl on the phone home
When he peaces,
are you lonesome?
With long black hair and deep brown eyes
She melts into the room like butter when it fries
Like butter when it fries
He's waiting for heaven,
just like me and you He's waiting for heaven in the evening gloom
