Well you can't see the stars in the city, no. Though the hospital lights sure are pretty, yeah. Well my wings are mud and I'm two feet tall, right. Won't you meet me out in the dark night? Got the windshield wipers And the shooting stars You're the nearest thing to heaven That I've seen by far. Well I miss my friends over the sea And I wish they'd come back here and strangle me Because I've burned the rice and my soul is ice cold, yeah. Oh, heaven won't you save me a slice. Got the windshield wipers And the shooting stars You're the nearest thing to heaven That I've seen by far My esophagus is dry Won't you pour me a cocktail before I die? We're gonna turn up an amplifier. Yeah, one of these days I'm gonna stop asking why. Got the windshield wipers And the shooting stars You're the nearest thing to heaven that I've seen by far. The sky is black Black as tar. Got the windshield wipers And the shooting stars
