Up Above The World Lyrics - The Gun Club

I'm here up above the world 

looking down on the river black 

ready to take a great swan dive 

'cause you're never coming back 

I'm here up above the world 

I always have to start all over 

when I decide I should live 

I won't be cheated anymore 

'cause there's nothing left to give 

I'm here up above the world 

We almost started something 

that you saw fit to take away 

something so close to my heart 

something near me every day 

I'm hear up above the world 

I'm here 

Forever you were my sister 

but you took my heart in chains 

the worst was when you broke them 

I cannot live with the pain 

I'm here up above the world 

I'm here 

It's lonely here in the freezing dawn 

the ships come in through the London fog 

the builders there are tearing up my street 

the ambulance roars 

it makes the sound I weep 

I'm here up above the world 

looking down at the river red 

trying to bet my prayer 

at the foot of my lonely bed 

I'm here up above the world 

Since I'll no longer be living 

you'll have to answer my mail 

explain it all to the papers 

that I bought my ticket for hell 

There down below the world
