28 days of rain 
Flash floods in [bad word] 
Back in our boats again 
Bath water 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 

10.000 miles into the atmosphere 
My body shakes 
Is there a [bad word] here? 

Closest thing to heaven 

How do you do it? 

Closest thing to heaven, heaven 

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 

When one and one and one make two 
I know I'm high because I've captured you, 

yeah... 

Closest thing to heaven 
Yeah, it's you 
Closest thing to heaven, heaven 

Look the world right in the eye 
Eat the countries that are making billions 

Sweet as homemade apple pie 
Saved by [bad word] for all the starving millions, yeah.. 

Closest thing to heaven 
Closest thing to heaven 

How do you do it? 

Closest thing to heaven 

Uhh, hey 

Closest thing to heaven...
