We sleep in the city of dreams
We have settled under the dust
We take 40,000 winks
On the threshold of
Unanswerable lust
Gods gone back to heaven
Hes deserted us
But what the hell
He never understood us anyway
Have our souls pined away?
Have we sowed our seed in vain?
Has he set his face against us
And now shall we be slain?
This is the stone age of our desire
These are our formative years
Dont let them say the devil
Slaked his raging thirst
On our filthy tears
Gods gone back to heaven
Hes deserted us
But what the hell
He never understood us anyway
We simply may be evil
I dont care if its true
We simply may be evil
I dont care if its true
Im going to try anything, try anything
Because I really want you
Ive got to have everything, have everything
Because I really really need to
Gods gone back to heaven
Hes deserted us
But what the hell
He never understood us anyway
