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 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   Takin' 'em down   Board by board      Cheap vulgar innocence   Wears a wedding dress   Homophobic hypocrites   Scarin' us half to death   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'
