From The Elvis Costello Wiki

I set off alarms and fire off flares
Cos sometimes they answer prayers
I'm listening
I wait for some distant bell to ring
Why won't heaven help me?
(Far, far away)
Why won't heaven help me?
(It's so hard to say)
Why won't heaven help me?
Hey you out there!
Even if you dare ...
Take care of your wishes
If you find they do come true
You may regret that too.
Why won't heaven help me?
Why won't heaven help me?
Remember the thrill that
followed praise
While dressed for a lover's gaze
The moment when
You saw through the lies of
older men
Why won't heaven help me?
(Far, far away)
Why won't heaven help me?
(It's so hard to say)
Why won't heaven help me?
Hey you out there!
Even if you dare ...
Take care of your wishes
If you find they do come true
You may regret that too
Why won't heaven help me?
(Why won't heaven)
Why won't heaven help me?
(Why won't heaven)
Why won't heaven help me?
(Why won't heaven)
I sensed this was wrong but
take my word
I thought somehow I'd be spared
Alone again
Believe what you want of me
'Til then
Why won't heaven help me?
(Far, far away)
Why won't heaven help me?
(It's so hard to say)
Why won't heaven help me?
Hey you out there!
Even if you dare ...
Take care of your wishes
If you find they do come true
You may regret that too
Why won't heaven help me?
(Why won't heaven)
Why won't heaven help me?
(Why won't heaven)
Why won't heaven help me?
(Why won't heaven)
