Lyrics
So bummed it?s all over now
Think what it does to our morale
Shake it up, fake it up, make it up, damn
You never should walk in this weather alone
Oh no
Harm those that would do harm to you
Best take heed when their heads turn to glue
Get a leg up, put a foot down
Slap it upside and then turn it around
Time to come down
Heaven isn?t very far
Heaven isn?t very far
I never thought you?d leave us hanging high and dry
I really thought you wouldn?t leave us high and dry
Pick up your feet don?t let em hang
Scurry about with a boom and a bang
Don?t let me hang!
Heaven isn?t very far
Heaven isn?t very far
