[Verse 1: David Bowie] The air is getting hotter There's a rumbling in the sky I've been wading through the high muddy water With heat rising through my eyes Every day, your memory grows dimmer It doesn't hurt me like it did before I've been walking through the middle of nowhere Tryin' to get to heaven before they close the door Oh, hey, yeah
[Verse 2: David Bowie] Oh, when I was in Missouri They would not let me be I had to leave there in a hurry I only saw what they let me see They broke the heart that loved you Now you can seal up the book and not write anymore I've been walking that lonesome valley Tryin' to get to Heaven before they close the door Oh, oh, yeah
[Chorus: David Bowie & Gail Ann Dorsey] Ooh Tryin' to get to Heaven Before they close the door Ooh Tryin' to get to Heaven Before they close the door
[Verse 3: David Bowie] Oh, people on the platforms Waiting for the trains I can hear their hearts are beatin' Like pendulums swingin' on a cha-a-ain When you think you lost everything You find out you can lose a little more I, I'm just going down the, that road feeling bad Tryin' hard to get to heaven before they close the door
[Chorus: David Bowie & Gail Ann Dorsey] Ooh Tryin' to get to Heaven Before they close the door Ooh Tryin' to get to Heaven Before they close the door
[Bridge: David Bowie & Gail Ann Dorsey] Ooh Oh-oh-oh
[Chorus: David Bowie & Gail Ann Dorsey] Ooh Tryin' to get to Heaven Before they close the door Ooh Tryin' to get to Heaven Before they close the door
[Verse 4: David Bowie] I'm going down the river Going down to New Orleans They tell me everything is gonna be alright But I don't know what alright even means I'll close my eyes and I wonder If everything is as hollow as it seems I've been to Sugar Town, oh, shook the sugar down Tryin' to get to Heaven before they close the door, he-hey
[Chorus: David Bowie & Gail Ann Dorsey, David Bowie] Ooh Tryin' to get to Heaven (Tryin' to get there) Before they close the door (Woo, door) Ooh Tryin' to get to Heaven (Tryin' to get to Heaven) Before they close the door (And relive my dreams there) Ooh Tryin' to get to Heaven Before they close the door (I've been on the run, the way [?]) Ooh Tryin' to get to Heaven Before they close the doorTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
