Two Miles From Heaven

(mick ralphs)

(all right)
Whenever i think about the life i used to live by
I wonder when i'm gonna get back
It seems a long time since i moved into the city
Gotta get away from all that

I'm going home, yeah
I'm going home

I can see the fire glow reflected on the wall
Feel the backdrop looking down the empty hall
Knew that i was born to live with it all

Well, i'm roaming around in no particular direction
Just wearin' the shoes off my feet
Lookin' for somewhere i'm never gonna find here
(?) street

I'm going home, yeah
I'm going home

I can feel the fire glow reflected on the wall
Feel the backdrop looking down the empty hall
Knew that i was born to live with it all.

I'm going home, yeah
I'm going home

I can feel the fire glow reflected on the wall
Feel the backdrop looking down the empty hall
Knew that i was born to live with it all.
Whoa, i'm coming home girl
Whoa, i'm coming home girl
Whoa, i'm coming home girl
Whoa, i'm coming home girl
Whoa, i'm coming home girl

The way that you move makes me think
That you're a dead-ringer for a rock 'n roll singer.
And the way that you dance
Makes me wanna create
Some kind of scene in your life.
Know that you could have some kind of fun with me,
Anyway give it a try.
Cause you're a fun loving girl, yes you are.
I'm just a fun loving guy.

Well i seen you before just hanging around me
Trying to pretend that (?)
I can be naughty and i can be nice.
Who can predict girls in the game
Know that you could have some kind of fun with me,
Anyway give it a try.
Cause you're a fun loving girl, yes you are.
I'm just a fun loving guy.

Well don't look so nervous since i closed the door shut,
You wouldn't want anyone else to get in.
A black leather belt hangs on the wall,
Should be warning enough not to try to get in.
Know that you could have some kind of fun with me,
Anyway give it a try.
Cause you're a fun loving girl, yes you are.
I'm just a fun loving guy.

Telling you for your own good now
You don't have to stay if you want to leave here
Giving up just a piece of my mind
You might find it hard but i lost it long ago (whoa oh oh)

Tell me, what you gonna do when your first love leaves you
How you gonna feel when it all deceives you
I know what it's like to be alone
One thing more, i'll never fall in love til i'm gone

Please don't think that i don't feel it
Sometimes i can't hide the way i'm bearing (whoa oh oh)
Something hurts so bad it feels like years
To know the things that i am caring, what i am

Tell me, what you gonna do when your first love leaves you
How you gonna feel when it all deceives you
I know what it's like to be alone
One thing more, i'll never fall in love til i'm gone

What you gonna do when your first love leaves you
How you gonna feel when it all deceives you
I know what it's like to be alone
One thing more, i'll never fall in love til i'm gone

Will there come a time when sorrow's hard to find
And all those nursery rhymes will find a meaning
There's got to be a change, thoughts to rearrange
Does it seem so strange to try redeeming

Only time will show if the unrelenting blow
That's cast from down below does strike the ceiling
Life must still go on whatever's right or wrong
Realise what's gone and was never healing

Okay, let's go).

Momma's little jewel, just left school.
Fresh from the nuns who made you.
I don't know why, but i'm gonna try to re-incelibate you.

True when i hold you near, and i
Come even when i'm on the run, and i'm
Wearing black scorpio faces, when i
Come in the noonday sun.

Momma's little jewel you got the rules
But i'll be the one to educate you
Take what's mine, take a little time
But don't bite the hand that makes you

Laugh in the evening when i
Catch you in the (?)
Wearing black scorpio eyes, when i
Come in the morning sun

What you want i can't buy
Why don't you try it my way
What you look for ain't in the book
And i'm gonna show you someday

You won't rise, you won't shine
You won't bleed if you try, boys
You got brains if your luck changes
You'll have to play with my toys

True when i hold you near, and i
Come even when i'm on the run, and i'm
Wearing black scorpio faces, when i
Come in the noonday sun, and i
Laugh in the evening when i
Catch you in the (?)
Wearing black scorpio faces, when i
Come in the morning sun

Momma's, momma's little jewel
Momma's, momma's little jew-ew-ew-ew-ew
Momma's, momma's little jewel
Momma's, momma's little jew-ew-ew-ew-ew
Momma's, momma's little jewel
Momma's, momma's little jew-ew-ew-ew-ew

His feet lay heavy on the road that led to birmingham
Unseeing eyes, defeated cries, the mysteries of men.
Many hears, the helpless tears that leave the troubled brow
A man once tall, he fought them, but he is older now.

For in your youth, you think the truth will always win the game
Some men are kings, some men are rook, some men are pawns to blame
But if your skin is coloured black, well the dice are hidden in
The minds of fools who twist the rules, so you can never win

Birmingham, birmingham, underneath your face
There's nothing but a space - you're hollow.

Unlighted sky, begins to cry, the shabby coat is weak
And homes with windows dressed in warmth, and mouths that never speak
His mind is dead, his visions spread that pass before his feet
And thankfully he wears that dream that shields him from the street

Goodnight my friend, this is the end, you'll never cry again
You'll never have to smile away the bastards and the pain
Is it too late, or can you wait to take another turn
And walk together down that road that leads to birmingham

Birmingham, birmingham, underneath your face
There's nothing but a space - inside you.

Birmingham, birmingham, underneath your face
There's nothing but a space - you're hollow.
