Eurythmics

Heaven And Earth

Eurythmics


The drunk mortician lurches 
Past the broken windowed churches 
He starts to laugh and cry 
At the same time 
What really makes him drink 
Is the time he has to think 
And he knows that there is 
Nowhere he can hide 
He's got people making speeches 
Hang around like leeches 
To drink that heady drug 
Of untold power 
Their arguments are quoted 
And the winner then is voted but 
The loser always has 
the finest hour... 
So what are we going to do now 
On heaven and earth 
What are we going to do now 
Tell me what is worth to you ... 
Doctors try to save them 
Priests don't know how to tell them 
There's nothing you can do but repent 
You might think that he's a hero 
But like Nixon Mao or Nero 
All you know is that they came... then they went 
So what are we going to do now 
On heaven and earth 
What are we going to do now 
Tell me what is worth 
So what are we going to do now 
On heaven and earth 
What are we going to do now 
Tell me what is worth to you
