Designing Heaven — текст песни (Heaven 17)

How demanding life can be

With a taste for luxury

Its such a modern way to live

A new hotel for the heartbroken

A bright new generation

Running out of time

Step up for the promised land

Pay today and pay tomorrow



Just like home from home

A timeshare in the stars



Were living in a divided world

Its our own creation

Its all too much

Were out of touch

In this united nation

Define the styles, wait for a while

Here comes a new sensation

Lets get it right before tonight

We are designing heaven



I think at last Ive found

A system for success

But the last thing on my mind

Is to arrest my own excess

The things that really count

Dont seem to have a price

Discover what youre missing

Now that its your turn you cant wait



I say its up to you

You say its up to me



Were living in a divided world

Its our own creation

Its all too much

Were out of touch

In this united nation

Define the styles, wait for a while

Here comes a new sensation

Lets get it right before tonight

We are designing heaven



Im high enough to see

Nothing to lose

I feel relief

And disbelief

Now I can see



Did you ever wonder

Just how easy it would be ?

To try to rearrange

Your state of mind

If nature had a choice

Think you know what it would be

Let us to a woman or a man

Try humanity



Were living in a divided world

Its our own creation

Its all too much

Were out of touch

In this united nation

Define the styles, wait for a while

Here comes a new sensation

Lets get it right before tonight

We are designing heaven
