Save me, the heavens have opened, the storm is over so let's start the parade
Raindrops will turn to laughter forever after in your Technicolor heartbeat
And they say that it helps you forget everything

Sweet charity
Sweet charity

Drink your poison from a cup of gold, your gift keeps on giving and giving
Perfect photographs of Everest days and postcard nights
Tearing through the paper walls of time
With sunset eyes, telethons, Grand Canyon hearts
You numb your mind with gloves of white and turpentine
Even the bombs and scarecrows will sing!

Sweet charity
Sweet charity
Sweet charity

Save me, the heavens have opened and I'm alone, sweet charity
Save me, the heavens have opened, I'm coming home, sweet charity
Save me, the asylums have opened, I'm coming home, sweet charity
I'm home free

Sweet charity
Sweet charity
Sweet charity
