Suitcase Lyrics

Threshold, why do you trouble me so?

When I have the chance to cross you

Why does my heart say "Whoa"

And leave me clinging to the gangplank

With the boat set to go?

And I stand outside of heaven

With a suitcase in my hand.

Saint Peter, why do you rattle those keys?

Must you guard the gates of heaven

Like they house some disease?

While I stumble to the dance floor

With these pins in my knees

And I stand outside of heaven

With a suitcase in my hand.

We built this city out of hotels,

Farewells are only a few words away.

If my heart could find its own place

Suitcase, would you allow me to stay?

Suitcase, why do you lead me astray?

I could take you to Left Luggage

I could lock you away

But I know that faint and distant

I would still hear you say

(Suitcase, suitcase)

"You will stand outside of heaven

With a suitcase in your hand".

We built this city out of hotels

Farewells are only a few words away.

If my heart could find its own place

Suitcase, would you allow me to stay?

We built this city out of hotels

Farewells are only a few words away.

If my heart could find its own place,

Suitcase, would you allow me to stay?

(We built this city out of hotels)

With a suitcase in our hand.
