Yes I still worry about it Out of self-preservation Did I begin with tenderness The cannibal dragged his son into the kitchen Outside the deaf man fled the barn Abandoning every father's image Sure, sure I went to LA Together with my maid She was awful quiet Her hands were shaking in the donkey's mane I went to LA Searching for my own face I couldn't find it In the dry toothy maw of the lake Heaven is a second, heaven is a second (chance) Heaven is a second, heaven is a second (chance) Heaven is a second, heaven is a second (chance) Heaven is a second, heaven is (chance) Thought you summoned horses Thought you summoned childhood Oh the humiliation of having been perfectly understood If I could observe beyond every open mouth Men always end up telling you the truth I can see it now, see it now Every night is a lesson Down a long hallway Good God, this house Get me away Sure, sure, sure I went to LA What other choices could I make? I sing along the road An idiotic smile on my face I went to LA It was easy in the first place Wait, wasn't I with a friend? What difference does it make? The owner of the laundromat Gave me a ride home, she said She saw me come in alone Heaven is a second, heaven is a second (chance) Heaven is a second, heaven is a second (chance) Heaven is a second, heaven is a second (chance) Heaven is a second, heaven is a second (chance) Heaven is a second, heaven is a second (chance) Heaven is a second, heaven is a second (chance) Heaven is a second, heaven is a second (chance) Heaven is a second, heaven is a second (chance) Heaven is a second, heaven is a second chance
