lyrics

Every stranger is a saint, and the sky is usually blue
no one has any complaints; every word they say is true
they are always glad to see you; you are always glad to be seen
you thought you heard someone say it, and now you know what they mean

you can't buy a house in heaven, your money has already been spent
you're living on a lease that's day to day, and right now you're paying rent

there are no laws in this land; power is held hand in hand
all the alarm codes are 70x7; every clock reads 11:11
grace ain't something you earn; it isn't getting what you deserve
love ain't something you earn; it's a flame that doesn't burn

you can't buy a house in heaven, your money has already been spent
you're living on a lease that's day to day, and right now you're paying rent
