Sleeping Through Heaven - Live

As I walk among my small regrets
 From the valley of the shadow where do I get?
 With all my intents and purpose, I'm looking for some level surface
 I turn to you. I know this tension doesn't go away.
 But I will look it in the face today.
 See in color though they show me in gray
 So I put my shoes on and pay my debts
 And get hours ahead of all the tears I can forget
 With my arm around your back
 I will play the deck no matter how much it's stacked
 And we could have some say in what we take as real
 Grab this town like it was no big deal
 But everyone's afraid to break the seal
 So I drive home past the closed up stores and homes
 That each look sadder than the one before
 I want to go bang on every door
 and say "Wake up, you're sleeping through heaven"
 And I don't care who knows, I don't know who cares
 If you don't want yours then let me have my share
 I can turn my back on the younger man
 Who thought he was breaking ground for some fatherland
 With an eye toward toppling ten pins
 Grew up so fast, it made his head spin
 Picked lonely fights and showed an ugly face to all concerned
 Stood up and took it on the chin by turns
 In troubled waters as his bridges burned
 I'm afraid of streets when lights are out
 And I'm well aware that an up is a down
 But for all these lessons I'm learning, I know I can't stop the yearning
 I want you tonight. I guess that some would say my life's a mess
 But you have let me show some great success
 (Or maybe I'm too dumb to stay depressed)
 Everyday I want it more
 I used to be to glad to stay home being bored
 I want to go bang on every door
 and say "Wake up, you're sleeping through heaven!"
