Alarm, alarm
My fears go arm in arm
To the army at war with love
And one day, the hero
And one day, the foe
Forgiveness tied in yellow 'round the old oak tree

Turn and take disbelief
Turning into stone
While the century retreats
To the memory repeated in a futuristic world

I get a little bit closer to heaven
I get a little bit closer to heaven
Shimmering mirage
I get a little bit closer to heaven
I get a little bit closer to heaven
Shimmering mirage

Like hunger
Like a lesson
Like this must be obsession
Shimmering mirage

Like hunger
Like a lesson
Like this must be obsession
Shimmering mirage

There was a flicker in the overhanging night
And all the life I'd hidden
Seven maids a-milking
In a dream of white trees
On the back of the fires' poison light

I get a little bit closer to heaven
I get a little bit closer to heaven
Shimmering mirage
I get a little bit closer to heaven
I get a little bit closer to heaven (to heaven)
Shimmering mirage

Like hunger
Like a lesson
Like this must be obsession
Shimmering mirage

Like hunger
Like a lesson
Like this must be obsession
Shimmering mirage

I get a little bit closer to heaven
I get a little bit closer to heaven
Shimmering mirage (ah)
I get a little bit closer to heaven (ah, yeah, ah, yeah)
I get a little bit closer to heaven
Shimmering mirage

Like hunger
Like a lesson
Like this must be obsession
Shimmering mirage

Like hunger
Like a lesson
Like this must be obsession
Shimmering mirage

Upon my face a smile
Just a trace, all the while
Thoughts of wasteful waters flow
Alarm, alarm, my fears go on and on and on and on
