Heartland Lyrics

Pain or pleasure

Your face your honesty

With a point of view

All over you

Safe in sanction

But the hour draws near

To your lover's darkened room

You crawl into

Have you paid the price of sin?

I bet your momma doesn't like it

Red light keeps you from coming home

Ladies waiting to tend to you

(Over) Over in the heartland

Teacher tell your students not to cry

They're much too young to die

(Over) Over in the heartland

Morning after

Return the day of your innocence

In decline

I can't help you

An addiction

Is a loneliness you leave on the telephone line

You're on your own

In your secret world there's no right or wrong

Does your conscience wake you up when she's gone?

Stop pretending you've nothing to hide

Can't you live without your lady?

Live without air
