The Stranglers - Heaven or Hell lyrics

The master asleep in his chamber The beggar asleep in the door The man In the moon says I've seen this production before The prisoner dreams of escaping In about to a far away places The stars in the sky say Look up and we'll show you the way Heaven or hell Sometimes you just can't tell So we keep on walking Look at the news in the paper I can't believe all the things I see Progress is taken for granted But it's a lie you can take it from me Civilisations lie swallowed up in the sand
