Down here there's nothing really going on
Down here we sit and watch someone
Mow the lawn
We feel lazy and there's nothing really wrong with that
We curl up just like a fat old cat
It's got to be a hard way to heaven
You don't think that they would just let you in
It's got to be a hard way to heaven
Got to tramp down a lifetime of sin
Make your will and then make your peace
It's a little bit late if your looking to get a new lease
Better take stock of all your indiscretions
At the least you might make a few concessions
May your actions amount to more
Than a series of Freudian slips
May your life preach more lovely
Much more lovely than your lips
Down here it's really rather mundane
You go along with it all or else you go insane
Can't wait and can't stand any further delay
Can't wait until your soul starts to fly away
