lyrics

First I mistook her for the Virgin Mary
She mistook me for some rock n’ roll star
Her heart was a cave I was the miner’s canary
Playing scales on the rain’s guitar

I was drinking too much I wasn’t sleeping enough up
Carousing with savages and kings
Things had to change when I was mugged and roughed up
Behind a nail salon in Colorado Springs

But even when our brows were bloodied
Beating our heads against the wall
Were were makin’ it to heaven
We were makin’ it to heaven
We were makin’ it to heaven after all

I feed the alligators and I bleed the radiators
I scrimp and save I’m shadow-boxing
Every now and again me and Magdelana
Make love like the boss ain’t watching

Come all ye unfaithful let your hearts not be hateful
Come sail with me across this fiery sea
The price of life can make you feel grateful
That they throw in death for free

Like the howling of dogs those winter gods
Are rising with a dying fall
But we’re makin’ it to heaven
Yes we’re makin’ it to heaven
We’re makin’ it to heaven after all

Black crow caws, wild cat roars
The stallion is kicking the stall
And we’re makin’ it to heaven
Yes we’re makin’ it to heaven
We’re are makin’ it to heaven after all
