The Hold Steady - Ascension Blues lyrics

She said I'm sick of all the s**ing up She said I'm terrified of coming down She wants to meet me back uptown Diane Lane kept me sane through the spring I was flirting with the films I was trying to say something that seemed kinda interesting Still trying to figure out if she felt anything We walked into the church and people got down on the floor Rolled around obeying the cheers, all filled up with the spirit of the Lord I've never felt like that before I only bow down to the jet set Fame was so quick, we hadn't met yet We're gonna all be friends in heaven We're gonna all be friends in heaven She said he looked like Jimmy Connors She said he tasted like the Calvin Klein She said we had a pretty huge time He came onto the court and he knelt before the sword There was feedback in the speakers and the sound man fried the board I'm pretty sure I went there once before It came to me on television Richard Gere in Days of Heaven Walking through Sam Shepard's mansion We're gonna all be friends in heaven We're gonna all be friends in heaven We're gonna all be friends in heaven She said I know you got a lot of love to give But now you know you can't know where I live I know you try to keep it pretty positive And if it makes you feel a little bit better We're gonna all be friends in heaven All the people on my TV We're gonna all be friends in heaven All the actors and the athletes We're gonna all be friends in heaven To be young, wild, and pretty We're gonna all be friends in heaven In the sweet part of the city We're gonna all be friends in heaven We're gonna get something in heaven
