Ticket to Heaven

lyrics

Ticket into Heaven

she said should I pack my bags
and try to get away again
it didn’t work when I was twelve
but I’ve got more to run away from now

he said you haven’t got a prayer
and if you did I bet nobody would listen
she said you can’t control me
now do you know what it feels like to be god

(refrain)
are you going to get yourself the ticket into heaven
and sit around and flaunt it
even if you didn’t buy it
or are you going to get yourself a little piece of heaven
and grow it down on this earth
before you have to sell it

between you me and four walls
these walls are pretty thin
do you think you should be telling me this
when they think your safe and soundly sleeping

have you been through hell and back
what’s your take on the view
is that disease going to die
an hour after you do

(refrain)

she called on her demons
to deal with her problems
then like hypocrites they crawled
through the hospital chapel

these memories echo in my brain
but not long enough to scare me into reasoning
when are you coming home
don’t leave me here alone
I don’t know you anymore
but it’s not like I did before

are you sleeping
brother john you can not take this lying down
hey are you sleeping
brother john you can not take this lying down

morning bells are ringing
