lyrics

Heaven’s right here.
But you know you gotta pay an admission’s fee.
The clouds & angels don’t come cheap.
You, you gotta pawn that love.
You, you gotta pawn that past…
And you’d better be quick, St. Peter’s patience doesn’t last.

This is what you want, right?
This is worth it, right?
You’d sell your soul to sleep in the streets of heaven for just one night.
This is what you want, right?

You’ve been to hell,
And you know you don’t wanna stay there.
But it costs a bit for the saints to care.
You, you gotta sell that laugh.
You, you gotta sell that smile…
And you’d best be hustler if you wanna stay a while.

This is what you want, right?
This is worth it, right?
You’d sell your soul to sleep in the streets of heaven for just one night.
This is what you want, right?

This is worth more than all you ever were.
All you’ve had is trash compared to this treasure.
You’ll trade in all these years, because there’s something in those clouds that must be better.
It must be better.

This is what you want, right?
This is worth it, right?
You’d sell your soul to sleep in the streets of heaven for just one night.
This is what you want, right?

about

L. $hamPain Texas

Sounds like... Howard Hughes’ mind on a steamy summer night in 1936, electrified with champaign-soaked bubbles & all of his neurons synapsing endlessly between light & dark, Las Vegas & solitude, being the predator & being the prey.
