Legendary Pink Dots (The)
Pennies for Heaven
Chasing the carrionWe watched the silver bird explodeWe tiptoed through the barrierOf smoke and took a handBut found it unconnected.We were dining on the wreckageWhite napkins 'round our necksWe took our plastic spoons and ateWe ate until we couldn't move'til sunset turned the desert redAnd startled souls ascended to OblivionA fat man with a guilty faceHeld back and tried to hide his caseAs angels chanted, "You can't take it with you..."So we're told, Heaven's paved with goldBut it has to come from somewhereParadiseIt has its priceWe're forced to crawl through needle's eyesOur price. Our choice.We rarely make the right one
