the soundtrack of the craven life

She can’t blame him for avoiding the end
He don’t want to hit the bottom of the pool
She says he’s afraid of pain
Afraid of the dark and lonely days
And if he’d only take a dive
She says, he’d surface in Heaven
She says, he’d surface in Heaven
She says, he’d surface in Heaven

“Dive, dive, dive …”

This tangled web is a safety net
He won’t interfere ‘cos it’s all he’s got
She says, he’s a coward now, deterioration escalates
She’s threatening and heckling:
“Dive and you’d surface in Heaven,
Oh dive and you’d surface in Heaven
Oh come on, dive and you’d surface in Heaven”

“C’mon try, try, try …”

He calls, “please don’t make me change too much,
It’s taken so much time to learn so little
And I won’t go under for Heaven
No, I won’t go under for Heaven
I won’t go under for Heaven”

“C’mon dive, dive, dive, ah, ahhh, aahhh, oh dive …“

Surface in Heaven, Pierce Turner
