From Heaven to Hell

Sitting on a sidewalk
Waiting for you to play
This game I call compassion ‘cause
I am down and you’re up there
Well now, my bottle’s almost empty
But your reflection on it stays
If you wonder how I’m doing
Imagine you’re here in my place
And feel like you’re up from Heaven
Thrown down to Hell

That boy, he has no mother
Doesn’t need his father, too
Turning head when passing beside him
Shame on me and shame on you
I guess he’ll never realize
That there’s a better place somewhere
But at least he’ll have no feeling
Just like he’s missing something great
Or that he’s up from Heaven
Thrown down to Hell

Always in a hurry
Will I make it on time?
Well, the time is all that’s left for me
Nothing else that’s being mine
So excited, thrilled when finished
Like a great job had been done
Not aware of how truly empty
All of my days have become
Like I’ve been up from Heaven
Thrown down to Hell

In a moment of awakeness
I will surely know I’m bare
Just like I’m up from Heaven
Thrown down to Hell
From Heaven to Hell...
