The Back Door to Heaven

Lyrics

[Verse 1] My eyes are stuck on sleepless dreams This world is never what it seems We've sold it short, it's what were taught Lost it in the living [Pre-Chorus] Allegiance is the strangest thing It's grown too fast, grown some wings It's flown away Flown away [Chorus] The back door to heaven is open wide to me So when I'm wrapped up tight in a hell of the night Can I still decide to be Where the, the mad road goes 'Neath the shapeless glow? Or will we swap ourselves like children For the value of our innocence? A gentleman's a golden card and a red, red rose [Verse 2] Transformed by some strange alchemy You stand apart and point to me Then point to something I can't see It's a lousy rainbow anyway [Pre-Chorus] Allegiance is the strangest thing It's grown too fast, grown some wings It's flown away Flown away [Chorus] The back door to heaven is open wide to me So when I'm wrapped up tight in a hell of the night Can I still decide to be Where the, the mad road goes 'Neath the shapeless glow? Will we swap ourselves like children For the value of our innocence? A gentleman's a golden card and a red, red rose [Verse 3] Your cheating heart will choose a way To borrow, burn and throw away Tomorrow same as yesterday It's a lousy rainbow anyway [Chorus] The back door to heaven is open wide to me So when I'm wrapped up tight in a hell of the night Can I still decide to be Where the, the mad road goes 'Neath the shapeless glow? Or will we swap ourselves like children For the value of our innocence? A gentleman's a golden card and a red, red rose
