Heaven's Escape Lyrics

They're showing a movie on the side of the bank
Oh, I'm in love with all creation
And the warmth of the hood of the car in the dark
Oh, I feel I'm an angel in waiting

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e92528-joe_henry~heavens_escape_lyrics.html ]
Where time is alive in the dark of your face,
In the battles we've won, lost or misplaced,
In the promise of heaven and the hold of its gates,
Oh, I can see it now

But tell me how, my love, will we escape?
Oh how, my love, will we escape?
I've been asked now to speak a few words to the crowd
Oh, I could be sick any moment,
There's a crack in the porcelain cup of the sky
I broke it and wish I could own it

And all that leaks through the where we've driven the nail
To hang here suspended so human and frail,
From atop of this jerry-rigged circus in jail
That's folding the tent on us now

But tell me how, my love, will we escape?
Oh how, my love, will we escape?
I deserve a much nicer hotel room than this
With parking nearer the riot,
I can look to no man to make me more than I am
Though, honey, you might want to try it

Oh, farewell to arms and to all we might be,
Farewell to this endless confused reverie,
Somewhere there's a heaven for you and for me
But oh, won't you please tell me now

Just how, my love, will we escape?
Oh how, my love, will we escape?
