Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Twenty-eight days of rain
Flashfloods in February
Back in our boats again
Bathwater and the baby
What am I gonna do?
There's been a lot of drinking
Looking at ghosts of you
While all the world is sinking
[PreChorus]
Ten thousand miles into the atmosphere
My body shakes, is there a welcome here?
[Chorus]
Closest thing to heaven
How do you do it?
Closest thing to heaven, heaven
[Verse 2]
Throw your arms 'round the world
Make love your destination
Here we go, boys and girls
Act like a generation
Give me that ball and chain
By now it must be hurting
Dragging your feet again
Just like a beast of burden
[PreChorus]
When one and one and one make two
I know I'm high because I've captured you, yeah
[Chorus]
Closest thing to heaven
Yes, you
Closest thing to heaven, heaven
[Bridge]
Look the world right in the eye
Eat the countries that are making billions
Sweet as homemade apple pie
Save the crumbs for all the starving millions
[Chorus]
Closest thing to heaven (Woo)
[Instrumental]
Closest thing to heaven
How do you do it?
Closest thing to heaven (Woo, hey)
Hey
Closest thing to heaven
[Instrumental]
Closest thing to heaven
