what is heaven to you?

what is heaven to you?
are the skies blue
but what do you do
when they're pink
would you sink?

what would you think
if the skies were gray
everyday
would you still stay?
anyway...

what if the golden
had got olden
after all these years
would you have tears
or fears...

what if GOD was just an old man?
barely able to stand
would you understand
even his SON
was a Son of a Gun

when you showed up
st. pete say "too late"
would ya' give up?
"pete...my i wait"
"what for?"
"you're too late...
done closed the pearly gate!"

"but why? ask i "
"full up."
i ask "but why" i cry
"shit...
git over it...
the Old Man's been doin' this for years"
"we're all tired a' your tears & your fears...
so go to hell...
plenty a room there."

"been there,they didn't want me neither
or either...
just need a breather."

"oh well
hell
don't want you
in hell
nor heaven...

oh it's you.
been told to expect you.
the SON said come on in.
begin agin'"

i asked "am i in HEAVEN?"

pete say...
son you ain't even close
but don't close
the DOOR
got plenty more
just like you."

thought you said HE was dead

"don't be mislead by a lie...
we try to avoid the retrobates
but vagabondes
we accelerate
The Process...
you have access
to every street you meet
except
the Pearly White Gate.

like i said, you're too late.
