With your smile you're making plans

You've got the world right in the palm of your hands

Everything you touch is gold

But your future life is bought and sold

It seems to me that you've got it made

But you never show that you're afraid

Now the voices in your head

They make you scream and drive you mad

You're on a hotline to heaven

Now you're all alone

Riding on a hotline to heaven

Standing on your own

Staring eyes as cold as stone

A wandering figure that stands alone

Reaching out you cry for help

Once a man but now you're just a shell

You make a deal, you make a grade

But you're heading for an early grave

You got to find it, got to try

Something special to get you high

You're on a hotline to heaven

Now you're all alone

Riding on a hotline to heaven

Standing on your own

You're on a hotline to heaven

(Going up without me baby, I won't let you drive me crazy)

Now you're all alone

Riding on a hotline to heaven

(Going up without me baby, I won't let you drive me crazy)

Standing on your own

It seems to me that you've got it made

But you're heading for an early grave

A thousand voices in your head

Make you scream and drive you mad

You're on a hotline to heaven

Now you're all alone

Riding on a hotline to heaven

Standing on your own

You're on a hotline to heaven

(Going up without me baby, I won't let you drive me crazy)

Now you're all alone

Riding on a hotline to heaven

(Going up without me baby, I won't let you drive me crazy)

Standing on your own
