We sleep in the city of dreams

we have settled under the dust

we take 40,000 winks

on the threshold of

unanswerable lust



God's gone back to heaven

he's deserted us

but what the hell

he never understood us anyway



Have our souls pined away?

have we sowed our seed in vain?

has he set his face against us

and now shall we be slain?

this is the Stone Age of our desire

these are our formative years

don't let them say the devil

slaked his raging thirst

on our filthy tears



God's gone back to heaven

he's deserted us

but what the hell

he never understood us anyway



We simply may be evil

I don't care if it's true

we simply may be evil

I don't care if it's true

I'm going to try anything, try anything

because I really want you

I've got to have everything, have everything

because I really really need to



God's gone back to heaven

he's deserted us

but what the hell

he never understood us anyway
