David Byrne
Heaven
Everyone is trying to get to the bar
The name of the bar is heaven
The band in heaven they play my favorite song
They play it once again they play it all night long

Heaven is a place
Where nothing ever happens
Heaven is a place
Where nothing ever happens

There's a party everybody's there
Everybody leaves at exactly the same time
It's hard to imagine nothing could so exciting

Heaven is a place
Where nothing ever happens
Heaven is a place
Where nothing ever happens

Blue neon shines down on Edward Harper street
Where from time to time those familiar faces they meet
Why look over there there's the two Jimmie's and the Janis
And upon a small stage a piano player plays
And lady sings's the blues with a white gardenia in her blue black hair
Her voice is like smoke drifting through the air
And from time to time when I'm alone my mind drifts there
Oh that this moment could last forever
When the kiss is over it will start again
It will not be any different it will be exactly the same
It's hard to imagine that nothing at all
Could be so exciting could be so much fun

Heaven is a place
Where nothing ever happens
Heaven is a place
Where nothing ever happens
