The voice of reason
Is rhyming with treason today
The laughing Devil
Is chasing the angels away
The dog is barking, the baby's crying
The rainy days are multiplying
She says, "It's time to make decisions"
Then turns on breakfast television
Life's a trial
But who did you leave behind
When a small slice of heaven's
All you could ever hope to find
The opera isn't over
Until the fat lady sings
Then she walks into town
And pawns her eternity ring
She's leaving home, a dream in her pocket
And a photograph in a silver locket
The party's over, she's not stopping
She's sick of lying, through with crying
Life's a trial
But who did you leave behind
When a small slice of heaven's
All you could ever hope to find
She's leaving home, a dream in her pockets
The photograph in a silver locket
The sky is open and clouds are fading
And that small slice of heaven's waiting
Life's a trial
But who did you leave behind
When a small slice of heaven's
All you could ever hope to find
Life's a trial
But who did you leave behind
When a small slice of heaven's
All you could ever hope to find
