A Small Slice Of Heaven - The Lightning Seeds

The voice of reason

Is rhyming with treason today

The laughing devil

Is chasing the angels away

The dog is barking

The baby’s crying

The rainy days are multiplying

She says it’s time to make decisions

Then turns on breakfast television

Life’s a trial

But who did you leave behind

When a small slice of Heaven’s all

You could ever hope to find

the opera isn’t over

Until the fat lady sings

she walks into town

And pawns her eternity ring

She’s leaving home

With a dream in her pocket

And a photograph in a silver locket

The party’s over, she ain’t stopping

She’s sick of lying, through with crying

Life’s a trial

But who did you leave behind

When a small slice of Heaven’s all

You could ever hope to find

She’s leaving home

With a dream in her pockets

And a photograph in a silver locket

The sky is open, the clouds are fading

And that small slice of heaven’s waiting…
