[Verse]

The candles burn to the end

And when the darkness closes in

I’ll be a silhouette

So I knock the flame over

Cause we can’t get any lower

Please forgive me, I’ve done it again

[Pre Chorus]

Pearly gates or prison bars

I don’t know where we are

But I go wherever you’ll lead me

[Chorus]

I’ve been trying to get to Heaven

Where do I audition

Just wait til they hеar about my good intentions

I can tell by the way thеy look at me

There never was going to be a vacancy

[Verse]

It’s a world of mistakes

But you’re just too much to take

Shaking hands will draw the line

[Bridge]

Blood fell into my hands

I never stood a chance

[Chorus]

I’ve been trying to get to Heaven

Where do I audition?

Just wait til they hear about my good intentions

But I know that look that you’re giving me

You’re not going to give us any sympathy
