I've carried this body for miles The sacrificed hang from the trees, withering Covered in ash, their corpses sway The scent of decay reeks as the embers burn There's a lingering pain pulsating within me Softly weeping, I lay the angel on the wooden pyre Before taking one last taste of heaven One last taste of heaven

You're so bad but I want a taste. A little taste you have, come on over Right now, take me down. I want your poison. I thought this was just a phase But everyday I slip, starting over. You crawl through my skin And I let you in. A little taste (oooh) Oh how you give me chills Hold my breath 'til it kills me. Come on, tear me apart I'll rest in peace, yeah. Don't stop, I haven't had enough. You're mine, 'til the sun comes up. I can't have just one. (one) A little taste (oooh) A little taste Oooh Baby, I'm afraid. But, I like being frightened. Baby, what's the deal with that? Tiptoe round the idea I pose like a convict I pretend this isn't life. Baby, I just want your lovin' A little taste (oooh) Baby I just want your lovin' (A little taste)

Now don't you be afraid We can always talk about it No need to medicate Cause I know you're strong without it You got me through the days When I thought I couldn't face it Let me count the ways The love we have you can replace it Just hold on, I'm not that strong There's a little piece of heaven Right here where you are The fact that you keep trying Is what sets you apart. Help me find the reason And I'll help you find the way To get rid of all your pain Little by little, day by day Now, you're far away And I'm alone to cry about it It's not a better place When you die and leave me here to say Hold on, I was never that strong There's a little piece of heaven Right here where you are The fact that you keep trying Is what sets you apart. Help me find the reason And I'll help you find the way To get rid of all your pain Little by little, day by day You'll get stronger If you need me, I'm not far away So, just hold on I'll help you find a way I'll help you find the way There's a little piece of heaven Right here where you are The fact that you keep trying Is what sets you apart. Help me find the reason And I'll help you find the way To get rid of all your pain Little by little, day by day Little by little, day by day Little by little, day by day Little by little, day by day Little by little, day by day

I lit out from your back door Kicked an old can fifty miles or more Written right there on the side of the can There's a little bird of heaven right here in your hand I looked up, and I looked back Walked a hundred miles on the railroad track All's I can tell from where I stand There's a little bird of heaven right here in my hand Well love, they tell me is a fragile thing It's hard to fly on broken wings I lost my ticket to the promised land Little bird of heaven right here in my hand So toss it up, or pass it round Pay mind to what you're carryin' round Oh, keep it close, hold it while you can There's a little bird of heaven right here in your hand Fallen hearts and fallen leaves Starlings light on the broken trees I find we all need a place to land There's a little bird of heaven right here in your hand So toss it up, or pass it round Pay mind to what you're carryin' round Oh, keep it close, hold it while you can There's a little bird of heaven right here in your hand

Made out on the roof of that old pawn shop Called dibs on that wrap-around on that hilltop Every other mile's a slow memory lane here That's why I'm movin' on, slower than the train here I saw her kissin' him but she's still rockin' my ballcap Lit a match and dropped it on the whole map She's got my little piece of Heaven feelin' like I need to leave it Takin' all my down-home and burnin' it to pieces Hot little shotgun angel thought she would always be here It's killin' me, yeah I can't go to the bar, can't go to the church Can't ride down none of our roads that are covered in dirt 'Cause they're covered in her Yeah, she's turnin' my little piece of Heaven into Hell on Earth You can't hide from the grapevine in our town She's stompin' on my heart, on my stompin' grounds So I got another round turnin' it up And she's downtown burnin' it up She's got my little piece of Heaven feelin' like I need to leave it Takin' all my down-home and burnin' it to pieces Hot little shotgun angel thought she would always be here It's killin' me, yeah I can't go to the bar, can't go to the church Can't ride down none of our roads that are covered in dirt 'Cause they're covered in her Yeah, she's turnin' my little piece of Heaven into Hell on Earth Hell on Earth I saw her kissin' him but she's still rockin' my ballcap Lit a match and dropped it on the whole map She's got my little piece of Heaven feelin' like I need to leave it Takin' all my down-home and burnin' it to pieces Hot little shotgun angel thought she would always be here It's killin' me, yeah I can't go to the bar, can't go to the church Can't ride down none of our roads that are covered in dirt 'Cause they're covered in her Yeah, she's turnin' my little piece of Heaven into Hell on Earth Yeah, it's Hell on Earth She's turnin' my little piece of Heaven into Hell on Earth
