John Mellencamp Heaven Is A Lonely Place Lyrics

Heaven Is A Lonely Place Lyrics

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

Power ball slot machine

Looking for the winning card

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



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



Cheap vulgar innocence

Wears a wedding dress

Homophobic hypocrites

Scarin' us half to death

Journalistic lap dogs

Can't seem to find the truth

Crystal meth with the paymaster

Sippin' on a hundred proof

Ain't you so hip now

You sure look cool

Wonder what the price will be

For actin' like such a fool



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



See the people cryin'

See the people cryin'

See the people cryin'

See the people cryin'



Heaven is a lonely place

They're taking down those golden gates

Takin' 'em down

Board by board



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

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



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



See the people cryin'

See the people cryin'

See the people cryin'

See the people cryin'
