Lyrics
Backstreet Heaven
Written By: Craig Braginsky
Bums on the corner – there by the door
They cling to their bottles – and stare through your soul
Businessmen junkies – where do I begin
I call it a form of salvation – you call it a sin
Morality fools, I can’t share your pain
This etiquette burden – “I’m glad that you came”
Losing your conscience could help you win the fight
And that’s where you’ll find me there in the night
I’ve gone to backstreet heaven
Where the girls don’t ask no questions
And a fifty dollar bill becomes my ticket to salvation
On a train away from loneliness
Just slip your hand beneath her dress
And feel the peace of backstreet heaven.
Symptoms of life – afflictions the same
Their children’s so tired of playing that game
They come to this place where you can’t hide your face
Where you suffer in peace, where there is no disgrace.
Morality fools, I can’t share your pain
This etiquette burden – “I’m glad that you came”
Losing your conscience could help you win the fight
And that’s where you’ll find me there in the night
I’ve gone to backstreet heaven
Where the girls don’t ask no questions
And a fifty dollar bill becomes my ticket to salvation
On a train away from loneliness
Just slip your hand beneath her dress
And feel the peace of backstreet heaven.
Going to backstreet heaven
Backstreet heaven
How'm I Gonna Sleep
Written By: Craig Braginsky
Painting your picture on a shadowy wall
In a room filled with sadness I still hear her call
The memories so clear -the words that she said
This echoing passion that beats in my head
The whispers of darkness, the sound of your name
It’s there deep inside but I don’t feel the same
Hey, you always played my heart like a game-
So far from heaven I fall-
How’m I gonna sleep
Without your love
How’m I gonna live
Don’t want to live without your love
Always making promises
You never meant to keep-
How’m I gonna sleep
Always a fool- I thought that you cared
Reaching for something that never was there
Though I don’t have you, you still have my heart
You hold me together, you tear me apart
And you whisper from darkness – you call out my name
You’re there deep inside, but it don’t feel the same
Chorus
And the night goes on
Thought I heard your call like a voice in the trees
And I’m lost in circles
Not a soul in the night – you can’t be…
If I Don't Have You
Written By: Craig Braginsky
I don’t need to take another breath
If I don’t have you
I don’t need to feel the sun again
If I don’t have you
I don’t need to say another word
If I don’t have you
Just another broken heart you’ve hurt
If I don’t have you
I don’t need to cry another tear
If I don’t have you
And I won’t be lost ‘cause I won’t be here
If I don’t have you
Repeat with variations
