Alleluia Lyrics - Singles - Dar Williams

Ron and Nancy got the house but Sid and Nancy rule 

I died 8 years ago, I'm still a legend at my high school 

I stole a Chevy and I wrapped it round a tree 

But that's okay 'cause no one's gonna make the next century 

I'm up in Heaven now they say I'm here to stay 

Where the clouds are really puffy and the Angels sing every day 

"Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia" 

The cafeteria's got everything, it's gonna drive me mad 

'Cause it looks just like a big Hawaiian party that my mother had 

It's like the worst Elvis film I've ever seen 

Technicolor luau all on technicolor green 

There's camping trips and donkey rides and singing round the fire 

And they signed me up for surfing but they can't get me in the choir 

Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia 

But there she was this morning, getting fitted for her wings 

Leather boots, magenta hair and saying nasty things 

I'd say she was an Angel but it's stupid and it's obvious 

I said you'll hate it here 'cause we're the only ones like us 

It's crypto-fascist mania, it's silicon deliria 

Yeah, she said, you're right, but I like the cafeteria 

Hey God, we're the bad kids we're so nasty mean and vile 

God looks like a guidance counselor, God's got that smile 

God says, "How could this be, that's really odd 

I guess I'll have to check my records 

Silly me, you know, I'm only God" 

The waves are perfect and the sun will always shine 

But there's got to be more to death than surfing all the time 

I know the signs of self-destruction so I try to stop each new kid 

Don't be like me, forever young, forever stupid 

Yeah, I found love here but I'll bet you'll find it there 

Where they don't always make the same joke 

Gee you make a heavenly pair 

Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia 

Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia 

Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia
