Streets Of Heaven (Promises, Promises)

(album: Collider - 2011)

What a way for a life to end
What a way for a life to begin
You come out kicking and crying
You can't afford to lose
You don't know how to win
Just don't forget where you came from
Don't forget who you are
They're all beating the same drum
You've been playing guitar

You hear the angel calling
From the streets of heaven
You go to work in the morning
Get home by eleven
You're just a drop in the ocean
So don't rock the boat 'cause heads will roll...

Promises, promises
Got no control over this
Promises, promises
Not much to show except the ....
Heavy rocks I've been lifting

Memories I've been sifting
My mind is always drifting
And under me, the sands are shifting

You hear the angel calling
From the streets of heaven
You go to work in the morning
Get home by eleven
You're just a drop in the ocean
So don't rock the boat cause heads will roll...

You're a drop in the ocean, baby
Don't drift away
Just a body in motion, baby
You're food for days
You're just a drop in the ocean
So don't rock the boat cause heads will roll...

We're all lying awake at night
We're all giving the same advice
We're all saying it don't feel right
We're all rolling the same ol' dice
You're always worried about money
You got the sting but no honey
They're always putting their hooks in me
They're always cooking the books on me now

Just don't forget where you came from
Don't forget who you are
They're all beating the same drum
You've been playing guitar

You hear the angel calling
From the streets of heaven
You go to work in the morning
Get home by eleven
You're just a drop in the ocean
So don't rock the boat cause heads will roll...

You're a drop in the ocean, baby
Don't drift away
Just a body in motion, baby
You're food for days
You're just a drop in the ocean
So don't rock the boat cause heads will roll...
