The Gun Club - Up Above The World lyrics

rate me

I'm here up above the world

looking down on the river black

ready to take a great swan dive

'cause you're never coming back

I'm here up above the world

I always have to start all over

when I decide I should live

I won't be cheated anymore

'cause there's nothing left to give

I'm here up above the world

We almost started something

that you saw fit to take away

something so close to my heart

something near me every day

I'm hear up above the world

I'm here

Forever you were my sister

but you took my heart in chains

the worst was when you broke them

I cannot live with the pain

I'm here up above the world

I'm here

It's lonely here in the freezing dawn

the ships come in through the London fog

the builders there are tearing up my street

the ambulance roars

it makes the sound I weep

I'm here up above the world

looking down at the river red

trying to bet my prayer

at the foot of my lonely bed

I'm here up above the world

Since I'll no longer be living

you'll have to answer my mail

explain it all to the papers

that I bought my ticket for hell

There down below the world
