Word got back to me
You said it's heaven to be free
I looked in on your world
But no heaven could I see
Smoke is standing in your eyes
That made your vision dim
It's a long way from heaven
To the world you're living in
Heaven don't have swinging doors
And bottles on the table
With great big purple grapes of wrath
Printed on the label
And also angels wearing dresses
Tighter than their skin
It's a long way from heaven
To the world you're living in
Maybe you would rather be
Without my love and fancy free
But if you think it's heaven
You're as wrong as wrong can be
You've mistaken glory land
For a common house of sin
It's a long way from heaven
To the world you're living in
Heaven don't have swinging doors
And bottles on the table
With great big purple grapes of wrath
Printed on the label
And also angels wearing dresses
Tighter than their skin
It's a long way from heaven
To the world you're living in
