lyrics

Automatics all
creeping through the skies
pushin’ out my dreams
radiant, alive
my creator gal
put me on my knees
pray forever more
give it to me, please

Mama said there was
a long way to go
and she told you if you fell down
you'd end up so far below
all I know
is that I’m givin' never gettin’
and I’ll never go to heaven
that’s right, I’ll never go to heaven

We can look into the
middle of the beam
get a hit of light
tell me what you’ve seen
give me everything cause
I don’t wanna lie
I never want to fade
I never want to die

Mama said there was
a long way to go
and she told you if you fell down
you'd end up so far below
all I know
is that I never will be let in
and I’ll never go to heaven
that’s right, I’ll never go to heaven
but did they tell you

We’re not gonna go
we’re not gonna go
to the sky above
to the sky above
and we’re not gonna go
we’re not gonna go
never get her love
never get above

I’m a carrier
and I’m a little vine
chokin’ all your dreams
bury us in time
I got nothing left to leave except for me
so hold onto your skirt baby
we’re off into the breeze

Mama said there was
a long way to go
and she told you if you fell down
you'd end up so far below
all I know
is that we’re never gonna get in and
we’ll never go to heaven
that’s right, we’ll never go to heaven
we’ll never go to heaven
you got that right
we’ll never go to heaven.
