Heaven Is a Lonely Place

[Verse 1] Barry, Barry, he's with Mary Look like they could fly Grandma's off her medicine I think that I know why People standing naked Outside in the yard A Powerball slot machine Lookin' for the winning card [Pre-Chorus] Tryin' to get my mind straight now It's a little bit narrow but I know somehow Thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not steal But you know thou always will [Chorus] Heaven is a lonely place They're taking down those golden gates Heaven is a lonely place They're taking down those golden gates Takin' 'em down Board by board [Verse 2] Cheap vulgar innocence Wears a wedding drеss Homophobic hypocrites Scarin' us half to death Journalistic lap dogs Can't seem to find the truth Crystal mеth with the paymaster Sippin' on a hundred proof [Pre-Chorus] Ain't you so hip now? You sure look cool Wonder what the price will be For actin' like such a fool? [Chorus] Heaven is a lonely place Taking down those golden gates Heaven is a lonely place They're taking down those golden gates Takin' 'em down Board by board [Post-Chorus] See the people cryin' See the people cryin' See the people cryin' See the people cryin' [Chorus] Heaven is a lonely place They're taking down those golden gates Takin' 'em down Board by board [Verse 3] So I guess it'll never end Brother hell enemies friends The fire's burning out of control In my soul tonight There's just no hope for me Might as well nail me to a tree Here I am, just another case Who cannot see the light [Pre-Chorus] I guess I can't take a hint Of what was said and what was meant Somehow we always come out blind When it comes to our hearts [Chorus] Heaven is a lonely place Taking down those golden gates Heaven is a lonely place They're taking down those golden gates Takin' 'em down Board by board [Post-Chorus] See the people cryin' See the people cryin' See the people cryin' See the people cryin'
