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 k** 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 h*mophobic hypocrites Scarin' us half to d**h 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'
