She's sliding, she's sliding Down to the dregs of the world She's fighting, she's fighting The urge to make sand of pearls Heaven can wait And hell's too far to go Somewhere between what you need And what you know And they are trying to drive The 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 are trying to drive The escalator into the ground And 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 you know And they are trying to drive The escalator into the ground

Tell the angels, no! I don't want to leave my baby alone I don't want nobody else to hold you That's a chance I'll take Baby, I'll stay Heaven can wait No, if the angels took me from this earth I would tell them bring me back to her It's a chance I'll take Maybe I'll stay Heaven can wait You're beautiful, you're wonderful! Incredible, I love you so You're beautiful! Each moment spent with you is simple wonderful This love I have for you, girl, it's incredible And I don't know what I'd do If I can't be with you The world could not go on so every night I pray If the Lord should come for me before I wake I wouldn't want to go if I can't see your face Can't hold you close What good would Heaven be? If the angels came for me I'd tell them no I don't want to leave my baby alone I don't want nobody else to hold you That's a chance I'll take Baby, I'll stay Heaven can wait No, if the angels took me from this earth I would tell them bring me back to her It's a chance I'll take Maybe I'll stay Heaven can wait Unthinkable Me sitting up in the clouds and you are all alone The time might come around when you'd be moving on (moving on) I'd turn it all around And try to get back down to my baby girl Can't stand to see nobody kissing, touching her Couldn't take nobody loving you the way we were! What good would Heaven be? If the angels come for me I'd tell them no No, I don't want to leave my baby alone I don't want nobody else to hold you That's a chance I'll take Baby, I'll stay Heaven can wait No, if the angels took me from this earth I would tell them bring me back to her It's a chance I'll take Maybe I'll stay Heaven can wait Oh no, can't be without my baby (I can't be without my baby) Won't go, without her I'd go crazy Oh no, guess Heaven will be waiting Ooh! Oh no, can't be without my baby Won't go, without her I'd go crazy Oh no, guess Heaven will be waiting Ooh! No, I don't want to leave my baby alone I don't want nobody else to hold you That's a chance I'll take Baby, I'll stay Heaven can wait No, if the angels took me from this earth I would tell them bring me back to her It's a chance I'll take Maybe I'll stay Heaven can wait (no) Just leave us alone (You're beautiful, you're wonderful, incredible, I love you so) Leave us alone Please leave us alone (you're beautiful) Please leave us alone Oh, leave me alone Please leave me alone I said leave me alone
