Trying To Get To Heaven

David Bowie

The air is getting hotter There's a rumbling in the skies I've been wading through the high muddy water With the heat rising through my eyes Every day your memory grows dimmer It doesn't hurt me like it did before I've been walking through the middle of nowhere Trying to get to heaven before they close the door People on the platforms Waiting for the trains I can hear their hearts a-beatin' Like pendulums swinging on chains When you think that you lost everything You find out you can always lose a little more I'm just going down the road feeling bad Oooh trying to get to heaven before they close the door Oooh trying to get to heaven before they close the door Oooh trying to get to heaven before they close the door Oooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh Oooh trying to get to heaven before they close the door Oooh trying to get to heaven before they close the door I'm going down the river Down to New Orleans They tell me everything is gonna be all right But I don't know what "all right" even means I close my eyes and I wonder boys If everything is as hollow as it seems I been to Sugar Town, I shook the sugar down Now I'm trying to get to heaven before they close the door Oooh trying to get to heaven before they close the door Oooh trying to get to heaven before they close the door Oooh trying to get to heaven before they close the door . . .
