i was killed in a shopping cart

turned upside down and left for dead

i saw a clown try to speak to me

as i floated overhead

i found my way to a familiar place

i swear i’d been sometime before

i would’ve thought it was the marketplace

but i could not find the door



(chorus)

oh i have been to heaven

and i have walked the streets

but i couldn’t find a hand to hold

to keep me on my feet



paradise is a parking lot

a spot up front is your reward

and all the rest walk down streets of gold

to the house they could afford

i got lost in the swelling crowd

i could not afford to eat

you only have what you came in with

so i’m living on the street



(chorus)

oh i have been to heaven

and i found no relief

‘cause i couldn’t find a hand to hold

to keep me on my feet



i heard Jesus Christ was there

he had a car that’s bulletproof

that way everyone is safe

from the man who tells the truth



(chorus)
