lyrics

There's no two cents about it
This outrageous world
Where angels pace anxiously
With their eyes on the interstate
Waiting for God in a flatbed truck
To crest that far
And come stir up the dust

While we look for sign in the heavens
Yeah, they wait for a sign from heaven

There's no excuses about it
We run for our lives
Scream til we're breathless
And then compromise
There's a fox in the vineyard
With his eyes on the truth
Though clever can't reach it
He creates absolutes

While he looks for a sign from heaven
Yeah, he waits on a sign from heaven

A life under these skies
And I've never seen the lights of heaven

There's no rule to be broken
No king to depose
If you want revolution
Then throw off your clothes
And go dancing naked
Through the center of town
Raise a white flag
And start marching around
Old Martin Luther
Can't have imagined all this
He's bow to his knees
For a goddess to kiss
There's millions of people
Living millions of lies
Who pay for their righteousness
With other men's lives

And they call it a sign from heaven
Yeah they call it a sign from heaven

A life under these skies
And I've never seen the lights of heaven

Follow the course
Fall into line
Fall off your horse
Fall out of time
Fall for the truth
Fall on your face
Fall through the roof
Fall out of grace
Becasue falling is, falling is...
The reason the treasure spills
and we are in love
No longer with angels
But the skin that they bare
And we tear at the earth
With claws made for demons
Somehow dreaming that love can be
Dug up from anywhere

It's a sign from heaven
That's what I call a sign from heaven

A life under these skies
And I've never seen the lights
Never seen the lights
I've only seen the lights of heaven
