Heaven Help Us Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Hear the sound
The angels come screaming
Down your voice
I hear you've been bleeding
Make your choice, they say you've been pleading
"Someone, save us!"
[Chorus]
Heaven help us now
Come crashing down
And hear the sound
As you're falling down and
[Verse 2]
Out this old hotel
But I can't tell if I've been breathing or sleeping, or screaming, or waiting
For the man to call, and maybe all of the above
'Cause mostly, I've been sprawled on these cathedral steps
While spitting out the blood and screaming
"Someone, save us!"
[Chorus]
Heaven help us now
Come crashing down
We'll hear the sound
As you're falling down
Hear the sound
The angels come screaming
Down your voice
I hear you've been bleeding
Make your choice, they say you've been pleading
"Someone, save us!"
[Chorus]
Heaven help us now
Come crashing down
And hear the sound
As you're falling down and
[Verse 2]
Out this old hotel
But I can't tell if I've been breathing or sleeping, or screaming, or waiting
For the man to call, and maybe all of the above
'Cause mostly, I've been sprawled on these cathedral steps
While spitting out the blood and screaming
"Someone, save us!"
[Chorus]
Heaven help us now
Come crashing down
We'll hear the sound
As you're falling down
[Post-Chorus]
And will you pray for me?
Or make a saint of me?
And will you lay for me?
Or make a saint of me?
[Bridge]
'Cause I'll give you all the nails you need
Cover me in gasoline
Wipe away those tears of blood again
And the punchline to the joke is asking
"Someone, save us!"
[Chorus]
Heaven help us now
Come crashing down
We'll hear the sound
As you fall
[Breakdown]
And would you pray for me (You don't know a thing about my sins)
(How the misery begins)
Or make a saint of me? (You don't know)
(So I'm burning, I'm burning)
And will you lay for me (You don't know a thing about my sins)
(How the misery begins)
Or make a saint? Oh (You don't know)
(So I'm burning, I'm burning, I'm burning, I'm burning again)
And will you pray for me?
Or make a saint of me?
And will you lay for me?
Or make a saint of me?
[Bridge]
'Cause I'll give you all the nails you need
Cover me in gasoline
Wipe away those tears of blood again
And the punchline to the joke is asking
"Someone, save us!"
[Chorus]
Heaven help us now
Come crashing down
We'll hear the sound
As you fall
[Breakdown]
And would you pray for me (You don't know a thing about my sins)
(How the misery begins)
Or make a saint of me? (You don't know)
(So I'm burning, I'm burning)
And will you lay for me (You don't know a thing about my sins)
(How the misery begins)
Or make a saint? Oh (You don't know)
(So I'm burning, I'm burning, I'm burning, I'm burning again)
