Story behind the song
I wrote it in 1993 to 1996, when I was making the transition from New York to Los Angeles. Inspired by being harassed by a nasty NY landlord who was polluting my indoor air as a harassment action. (Hence the lyrics: "They leashed the air so none of is could stay..."). I first released the song (then titled "Heaven") in 1998 on cassette tape. This version is from a 2009 session.

COMBINATION OF THE OCEANS

Heaven
Heaven's a state
But heaven's kind of hellish, they say
Hell, get outta my way
Hell has got some heavenly grace
I could show you maps of stardust and wisps of gray
I could show you what you want, girl
But that would just be in the way
They changed the combination of the oceans
They changed the doors and doorknobs of the sky
They sailed the clouds and stalled the backward motion
And they pretend to want to tell you why
They boil the clouds
They paint the rain
They leash the air so none of us could stay
They tamed the birds
And burned the sky
And took our time so none of us could die
They changed the combination of the oceans
They changed the doors and doorknobs of the sky
They changed the clouds and stalled the backward motion
And they pretend to want to tell you why
I could show you maps of starudst and wisps of gray
I could show you what you want, girl
But that would just be in the way
Heaven, heaven's a state
Heaven's kind of hellish, they say
Hell, get outta my way
Hell has got some heavenly grace
I could show you maps of stardust and wisps of gray
