Hanging Around (In Heaven)

from Noyo: a Love Story by Will Stenberg

/

lyrics

The gates to the city are open.
But all the bars are closed.
No more drinking and doping.
It was only a pose.
So get off of your high horse
before it throws you down.
And welcome, son, to heaven:
It’s time to start hanging around.

You’ll find the people pleasant
and the atmosphere serene.
Like you, most here are peasants.
Like you, they’ll be washed clean.
So here’s your brand new outfit
of beige and black and brown.
And welcome, son, to heaven:
It’s time to start hanging around.

The party is over.
You always knew it would end.
You’ll still have your memories
except the ones that might offend -
offend the sensibilities
of all the nice people in this town
so welcome, son, to heaven:
it’s time to start hanging around.

There are so many like you.
Now there is one less.
We don’t want to fight you.
We want to give you the best.
So clear your mind of everything
you might have learned back in town.
And welcome, son, to heaven:
it’s time to start hanging around.
