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'
