I know this one keep playing it
And you tell me what I know and what I don't

Come with me
And we will shall run across the sky
And illuminate the night
Oh oh, I
I would try and guide you
To better times
And better days
Don't be afraid
Come up the ladder to the roof
There we can heal
Where we can be
Closer to heaven
Closer to heaven
Closer to heaven

We'll laugh and I'll tell you the story of love
How it is and the happiness in it baby
Clear as day, dark as night
Bereft, contrite
Butterscotch queen broke harsh to light
So far away, I've lost my sight
A candle flickers, life this river
Fuck I don't miss it
I can never hope to hide it
I ain't sir lance-a-lot, I can never be knighted
I'm straight blinded, Bronx born blighted
Switchblade fighted, double-sided
Heart divided
Grinded, cursed, forever misguided
This wrong cannot be righted

Zeke, I know you, and you've got those mad eyes on to hide your sad eyes
Zeke?
Somethin' bad happened tonight
But you're okay
Yeah, nah

Don't you wanna come?
Up the ladder to the roof
Where we can see
Heaven much better
Come up the ladder
To the roof
Where we can be
Where we can be
Closer to heaven
Closer to heaven
Closer to heaven
