Higher Hell - Echo & the Bunnymen

Smack in the middle of today

Got to learn new words

Merely got to simply say

I think we all misheard

Cracked in the middle of me Have to find my heart

Smiling equates with happy

But I know they’re miles apart

Just like my lower heaven

You know so well my higher hell

When confronted by Continuing the course

Will you open up Or do I have to force

The words right out

Of your stubborn mouth?

Stunted of course,

Guilty in their growth

Just like my lower heaven

You know so well my higher hell

Crashed through the floor today

I couldn’t find my legs

Suppose you live and learn

Learn it again and again

Smack in the middle of today

Got to find new words

Merely got to simply say

I think we all misheard

Just like my lower heaven

You know so well my higher hell

(when confronted by continuing the course)

(will you open up or do I have to force)

(the words right out)

(of your stubborn mouth)

(stunted of course)

(guilty in their growth)
