Wrapped in cloud 9 on top of golden plated stairs
Water into wine since we said our twisted prayers
Peter’s guarding the gate but he’ll unlock it, for us, he must
He checks us in and makes us wait and closes the doors right on us
Peter said “We only have room for one”
So we looked at each other and we decided to run
I’d rather be in hell forever than go to heaven without you.
Sliding down the chasm, ‘cause the devil doesn’t pay for stairs
We ask him for vodka and he has some, and he doesn’t even ask for prayers
The gates are left wide open, but only one is allowed in
The devil says the system’s broken, and only one of us is sin
He said “We only have room for one”
So we looked at each other and decided we weren’t done
Because I’d rather be waiting forever than go to hell without you
Purgatory, the never ending story
Where you sit and wait all day
None of heaven’s glory and none of the devil’s quarry
We’re stuck in a constant today
The timekeeper said “Someone has to leave
‘Cause we’re filling up, because no one believes”
So you and I wasted no precious time
And made our way back down to hell
We did what no one should ever do
We made a deal with the devil, something we can’t undo
So we sent him up to heaven, and next to his throne added a second
Because I’d rather rule hell forever than go to heaven without you
