Heaven Is A Lonely Place Lyrics - John Mellencamp

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 power ball slot machine 

Looking for the winning card 

Trying 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 

Taking 'em down, board by board 

Cheap vulgar innocence 

Wears a wedding dress 

Homophobic Hypocrites 

Scaring us half to death 

Journalistic lap dogs 

Can't seem to find the truth 

Crystal meth with the paymaster 

Sipping on a hundred proof 

Ain't you so hip now? 

You sure look cool 

Wonder what the price will be 

For acting 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 

Taking 'em down, board by board 

See the people crying 

See the people crying 

See the people crying 

See the people crying 

Heaven is a lonely place 

They're taking down those golden gates 

Taking 'em down, board by board 

So I guess it'll never end 

Brother, Hell, enemies, friends 

Fire's burning outta 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 comes out blind 

When it comes to our hearts 

Heaven is a lonely place 

Taking down those golden gates 

Heaven is a lonely place 

They're taking down those golden gates 

Taking 'em down, board by board 

See the people crying 

See the people crying 

See the people crying 

See the people crying
