With your smile you´re making plans
You´ve got the world 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

(Refrain)
You´re on a hot line to heaven (now you´re all alone)
Riding on a hot line 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

(Refrain)

You´re on a hot line to heaven (now you´re all alone)
Riding on a hot line to heaven (standing on your own)
Going up without me baby
I won´t let you drive me crazy
