Once he sang to himself   No microphone for no one else   In days when they would leave   He whispered words into a tape machine   No the world was dark then   No Maxwell buffed it like an emerald pin   He wore on his heart   Unleashed the wave of patriarchs and kings      You make your own little heaven my friend   You make your own little heaven   You make your own little heaven my friend   Yeah yeah yeah      Then a light intervened   Into his bedroom window when   He was only thirteen   But sure glittered littering the scene   He fell to his feet   His body gripped by forces made him writhe   To an alien beat blinded he cried against   The wooden floor uttering those words repeat      You make your own little heaven my friend   You make your own little heaven   You make your own little heaven my friend   Yeah yeah yeah      Beginning to flow   Ooh Maxwell would embrace the power   Of stars fell to the stage   Renouncing his charm the tabloid   Made us a pyre and too high to stack   The make-up bulging too before the rack   Strange in this height of fame   In fractured dreams the premonitions   They came and caught in a flash   Whole sea of lights with chrome revolvers blast      You make your own little heaven my friend   You make your own little heaven   You make your own little heaven my friend   Yeah yeah yeah      Once the mansions were few   But welcomed those like me and you   And we lived here in the shade   'Til Maxwell Demon stormed the barricade   Heard on BBC One   They found the body by the gun   Wearing the Maxwell wig      You make your own little heaven my friend   You make your own little heaven   You make your own little heaven my friend   Yeah yeah yeah   Yeah yeah yeah   Yeah yeah yeah
