Twenty eight days of rain   Flash floods in February   Back in our boats again   Bath water and the baby   What am I gonna do?   There's been a lot of drinking   Looking at ghosts of you   While all the whole world's sinking      Ten thousand miles into the atmosphere   My body shakes   Is there a welcome here?      Closest thing to heaven   How do you do it?   Closest thing to heaven, heaven      Throw your arms round the world   Make love your destination   Here we go boys and girls   Act like a generation   Give me that ball and chain   Right now it must be hurting   Dragging your feet again   Just like a beast of burden      When one and one and one and one make two   I know I'm high   Because I've captured you      Closest thing to heaven   Yeah, it's you   Closest thing to heaven, heaven      Look the world right int he eye   Eat the countries that are making billions   Sweet as homemade apple pie   Saved by crumbs for all the starving millions, yeah      Closest thing to heaven   Closest thing to heaven   How do you do it?   Closest thing to heaven   Uhh, hey   Closest thing to heaven
