Heaven doesn't need you now
Go back and take a second look around
Let every wicked word and bitter song you ever learned
Fall upon my feet
And get swept out of the city
So go ahead and take a bow
'Cause, oh my God,
I swear you need one now
'Cause you've been twisted
And you've been burned
You always listen
But you never learn, to speak
Your words got carried out to sea
Now they're lost among the weeds
But someday you'll get even
I am wide awake
I am wide awake
It ain't hard
To be a ghost, and let it go
No, it ain't hard
To let everything, go up in smoke
So go ahead and take a bow
Sit outside until the bricks come down
And while you're waiting
You just might fail
But don't apologize
Not everything's a mistake
Then you hardly spoke
But you made a joke of it all
