Heaven's Open

Mike Oldfield Heaven's Open Lyrics
1.Gimme Back

(gimme back) i need my hands,
(gimme back) i want my feet.
(gimme back) give me my soul,
I'm incomplete.

(gimme back) i need my eyes,
(gimme back) i want my teeth.
(gimme back) gimme my scope,
Give me my beliefs.


Oh, here i hang on this - hook, line and sinker.
Don't take the skin off my fingers!

(gimme back) i need my arms,
(gimme back) my back is bent.
(gimme back) i want my hope,
I'm deficient.

(gimme back) i need my blood,
(gimme back) i want my space.
(gimme back) gimme my dream.
I rest my case.


Like a fire without a flame,
Desert with no rain.

(gimme back) i need my face,
(gimme back) i want my beat.
(gimme back) gimme my pulse,
I'm in retreat.

(gimme back) i need my hair,
(gimme back) i want my voice.
(gimme back) gimme my vision,
Gimme back my choice.


Like a fire without a flame,
Desert with no rain.

Oh, mountain high,
I'm in so deep.
Look down, look down on i.
Take these chains from off my feet.

I'm a fire without a flame,
Desert with no rain.

I want my beat,
I'm incomplete.
I want my face.
I rest my case.


2.Heaven's Open

This is that morning,
It's waiting for you.
The face of destiny
Standing before you.

This is zero hour, now is for you.
Can you feel that power inside of you?

This priceless moment
In your posession.
Answers to mysteries
Stand in succession.

This is zero hour and there's no way back.
Can you feel that power? in its arms you're wrapped
All through the night-time
'til the sun comes in.
Now heaven's open.
Just fly right in.

Now you stand in that garden,
This is that vision.
Out on the world's edge,
It's your baptism.

This is zero hour and your hands are free.
Can you feel that power? it's ecstasy!
All through the night-time,
'til the sun comes in.
Now heaven's open.
Fly right in.

Waiting for night-time
'til the sun comes in.
All through the night-time,
Let the blue sky in.

Heaven's open,
The sun comes in.
Heaven's open.
Let that blue sky in!

You know, sun comes in.
Now, heaven's open.
Fly right in.


3.Make Make

Oh make make.

There's no way out, no way in
To the hallowed halls, the inner ring.
You're just a face in the crowd.
You got no place when you're down and out.

Mona lisa, you can stop searching.
Don't you know we're not virgin.


We're on the make make.
We only take take.
We're on the make make.
We accumulate.
We're on the make make.
Don't mind, it's fake fake.
We're on the make make.
We're making heartbreak.

Oh make make.
We're on the make.
Oh make make.

We build our tower on shifting sand.
You got no idea what's changing hands.
No chivalry. who cares what you feel?
This is not the place for high ideals.

Mona lisa, you can stop searching.
Don't you know we're not virgin?


Mona lisa, you can stop searching.
Don't you know we're not virgin?

We're on the make!

No sympathy, we're sacrosanct.
We're on the make.
No charity! no thanks!


We're on the make. (make make, take take.)
Oh make make.
We're on the make. (make make, fake fake.)
Oh make make.
We're on the make.
Oh make make.
We're on the make.
Oh making heartbreak.
We're on the make.
Oh make make.
We're on the make.
Oh make make.
We're on the make.


4.Mr. Shame

I know you're out there, mr. shame.
I'm calling your name, mr. shame.

There is no doubt,
You need to find out
About the river,
But there's no covert scheme
To help you find your dream
To the river.

Down to the river.
Was this all some cry for love?
It's a cry for love.
Down to the river.
Are you a victim of that money bug
In your blood?


Mr. shame. get down to the river!
Mr. shame. i know you ache.
Mr. shame. so come down to the river.
The river of love. don't hesitate.

There's no mean devise
Or key to paradise
To the river.
No price you can pay
To help you find your way
To the river.

Down to the river.
Is this all some cry for love?
It's a cry for love.
Down to the river.
Don't tell me you're a victim of that money bug
In your blood!


Down to the river.
Is this all some cry for love?
It's a cry for love.
Down to the river.
Don't tell me you're a victim of that money bug
In your blood!


5.Music From The Balcony


6.No Dream

An empty chair,
Is someone sitting there?
Footsteps on the ground.
Can you hear that sound?
Like a wild goose crying
On a lonely wind.
Whispering leaves
In the branches that bend.


This ain't no dream, babe.
Alone in the night.
Turn on the light, this ain't no dream.
This is no dream.
You didn't read this is no book.
Go take a look, this ain't no dream.

A restless flame,
Someone calls your name.
Through the empty hall,
Casting shadows on the wall.
In the sound of emptiness,
Isolation.
Nowhere left to run,
Now the time has come.


An open door,
Glass all on the floor.
Hands have turned to white
In the cold breeze of the night.
There's a face at the window.
Someone who you know
Or who you used to be.
Could that somebody be me?


Dream, babe,
Alone in the night.
Turn on the light, this ain't no dream.
This is no dream.
This ain't no book.
Go take a look, this ain't no dream.


Dream, babe.
Dream, babe.
This ain't no dream.
Go take a look!
Dream, babe.
Dream, babe.
