When in Heaven

When Marilyn Monroe woke up in heaven She had everything she'd need for the perfect day The perfect man takes her walking Where no-one can stare She goes shopping and finds the perfect clothes To wear for the perfect sleep But down here We're dreaming of cures and drinking well tonight Forgetting all our sorrows, put away our fights Until tomorrow comes around We sit in the pub waiting for the clubs to open We will be safe tonight and not wake up next to strangers Thinking I killed the one I loved He's drinking slowly, got a hangover And a smoked up chest that's too tight I dream on Imagine what could happen after this drink I'm wearing wings Join Lauren Bacall float up to heaven's gate Wearing danger smiles She'll meet with the stars They'll break down doors Those shining pearls float off in space I'm raving beautifully When Marilyn Monroe woke up in heaven She had everything I'd need When I go to heaven and stand shivering before this God I'll try some complaining, "Why that little tiny trick?" Give me the pearls of love, of wisdom and of smiles Give me another chance, a beautiful set of wings In Heaven When I wake up in heaven
