Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Heaven, give me a sign

Waiting for the sun to shine

Pleasure fills up my dreams

And I love it, like a baby screams

[Verse 2]

It's so useless, how can you be proud?

When you're sinking into the ground

Into the ground, fills up my dreams

And I love it, like a baby screams

[Chorus 1]

Couldn't ask for more, you said

Take it all and strike me, strike me, strike me dead

Strike me, strike me dead

[Verse 2]

Waiting again, waiting like I waited before

Waiting again, waiting here for nothing at all

Heaven fills up my dreams

And I love it, like a baby screams

[Chorus 2]

Couldn't ask for more, you said

Couldn't ever let it end

Take it all, take it all

Then strike me, strike me, strike me, strike me, strike me dead

Strike me, strike me dead

Strike me, strike me dead

[Refrain]

Strike me, strike me, strike me dead

[Outro]

Heaven

Heaven

Heaven

Heaven
