Lyrics:
She's sliding, she's sliding
Down to the dregs of the world
She's sliding, she's sliding
Down to the dregs of the world
She's sliding, she's sliding
Down to the dregs of the world
Heaven can wait and hell's too far to go
Somewhere between what you need and what you know
And they're trying to drive that escalator into the ground
Trying to drive that escalator into the ground
Trying to drive that escalator into the ground
Trying to drive that escalator into the ground
She's sliding, she's sliding
Down to the dregs of the world
She's sliding, she's sliding
The urge to make sand out of pearls
Heaven can wait and hell's too far to go
Somewhere between what you need and what you know
And they're trying to drive that escalator into the ground
She's hiding, she's hiding
On a battleship of baggage and bones
There's thunder, there's lightning
And an avalanche of faces you know
Heaven can wait and hell's too far to go
Somewhere between what you need and what you know
And they're trying to drive that escalator into the ground
And they're trying to drive that escalator into the ground
And they're trying to drive that escalator into the ground
And they're trying to drive that escalator into the ground
Down to the dregs of the world
She's sliding, she's sliding
Down to the dregs of the world
She's sliding, she's sliding
Down to the dregs of the world
Heaven can wait and hell's too far to go
Somewhere between what you need and what you know
And they're trying to drive that escalator into the ground
Trying to drive that escalator into the ground
Trying to drive that escalator into the ground
Trying to drive that escalator into the ground
She's sliding, she's sliding
Down to the dregs of the world
She's sliding, she's sliding
The urge to make sand out of pearls
Heaven can wait and hell's too far to go
Somewhere between what you need and what you know
And they're trying to drive that escalator into the ground
She's hiding, she's hiding
On a battleship of baggage and bones
There's thunder, there's lightning
And an avalanche of faces you know
Heaven can wait and hell's too far to go
Somewhere between what you need and what you know
And they're trying to drive that escalator into the ground
And they're trying to drive that escalator into the ground
And they're trying to drive that escalator into the ground
And they're trying to drive that escalator into the ground
The Song:
This long remix of "Heaven Can Wait" appears on a promo cd of some remixes of the song. It is definitely not your typical electro beat dancey remix, it's much more intense and dark.
I haven't been able to find out much for sure about this mix, besides the name of the remixer (Jackson). Some information out there refer to this as the "Elevator" remix, some call it "Escalator." I'm not sure which is accurate. But since the lyrics refer to an escalator, that's what I've gone with here.
