Long Way to Heaven

It was a good job, things are looking fine
He gets a gold watch if he put in his time
She was a good wife, she was witty and tough
It was a good life, but it wasn't enough
Hey now, hey now

The football star, the homecoming queen
They got married when she turned eighteen
With two nice kids and modest ways
They kept to themselves, who doesn't these days?
Hey now, hey now

And it's a long, long way to heaven
When the streets are paved with tears and blood
And it's a long, long way to salvation
When you're standing there before the flood
Oh yeah, alright

Channel 3, they were led away
By the police in a Chevrolet
They found some bodies in a cellar
What the hell did he ever tell her?
Hey now, I said baby, hey now

From Scarborough to Sarajevo
It's a dirty little town that everybody knows
The melody of evil, nothing's ever taboo
Seen it all before, honey, what's new?
Hey now, oh hey now

And it's a long, long way to heaven
When the streets are paved with tears and blood
And it's a long, long way to salvation
When you're standing there before the flood
Look out

And it's a long, long way to heaven
When the streets are paved with tears and blood
And it's a long, long way to salvation
When you're standing there before the flood
And it's a long, long way to heaven
