Lyrics

From the heavens I can see the world hardly moving, what could make it turn

Contemplating the world's inertia from a heavenly perspective, questioning the forces that drive its motion.

Maybe life itself, or could it be love

Pondering if life or love could be the driving forces behind the world's movement.

Or God with a gentle shove

Suggesting the possibility of God's influence, depicted as a gentle push, in making the world turn.


I fear what I know not what I wonder

Expressing fear of the unknown rather than curiosity about it.

All the weight of the world on my back finally kills me, but I know that it won't ever take me

Feeling burdened by the world's problems, acknowledging the weight but resilient to succumb.


So take your money right back to the hell it came

Rejecting the negative influence of money, advising to return it to its negative origins.

Don't wait and don't worry

Encouraging immediate action without hesitation or concern.

I won't be standing in your way

Declaring an absence of obstruction to the rejection of material wealth.

So to hell with your money before you suffer the same fate

Warning against the consequences of holding onto money and experiencing a similar unfortunate destiny.


From the heavens it would seem the world hasn't got a care

Observing the world from a distant, heavenly viewpoint, suggesting it seems carefree.

Perfect from afar

Describing the world as flawless when viewed from a distance.

Though it's shape may be its visitors are flawed

Acknowledging imperfections in the world's inhabitants despite its outward perfection.

They take and still want more

Highlighting a tendency for people to take and desire more, possibly alluding to greed.


I fear what I know not what I wonder

Reiteration of fearing the unknown and wondering about it.

All the weight of the world on my back finally kills me, but I know that it won't ever take me

Reaffirming the burden of the world's problems and the determination not to be overcome by them.


So take your money right back to the hell it came

Repeating the rejection of money, advising its return to its negative origin.

Don't wait and don't worry

Emphasizing the urgency of action without delay or worry.

I won't be standing in your way

Reiterating a lack of obstruction to the rejection of material wealth.

So to hell with your money before you suffer the same fate

Restating the warning about the consequences of clinging to money and facing a similar fate.


So take your money right back to the hell it came

Repeating the rejection of money and urging its return to its negative origin.

Don't wait and don't worry

Restating the need for immediate action without waiting or worrying.

I won't be standing in your way

Reaffirming the absence of obstruction to the rejection of material wealth.

So to hell with your money before you suffer the same fate

Reiterating the warning against the consequences of holding onto money and suffering a similar fate.


From the heavens I can see the world hardly moving, what could make it turn

Echoing the initial contemplation of the world's motion from a heavenly perspective.
