Lyrics:
She's sliding, she's sliding
Down to the dregs of the world
She's fighting, she's fighting
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
You left your credentials in a Greyhound station
With a first aid kit and a flashlight
Going to a desert unknown
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
Down to the dregs of the world
She's fighting, she's fighting
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
You left your credentials in a Greyhound station
With a first aid kit and a flashlight
Going to a desert unknown
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
The Song:
Chris Taylor created a remix of "Heaven Can Wait" for Charlotte Gainsbourg and Beck. Taylor is from the band Grizzly Bear, and recorded a cool album on his own under the name CANT. Here, Taylor stripped all momentum from the song, leaving Charlotte's voice and some synthesizers.
This mix was available as a bonus track if you purchased the album via iTunes, as well as a "Heaven Can Wait" remix single.
