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 over head.
I found my way to a familiar place
I swear Ive been some time before
I would have thought it was the marketplace
But I could not find the door
Oh I have been to heaven
And I have walked the streets
Cause I couldnt find the hand to hold
To keep me on my feet
So paradise is a parking lot
A spot up front is your reward
All the rest walk down streets of gold
To the house they could afford
I got lost in swelling crowd
And I could not afford to eat
You only have what you came in with
So Im living on the street
Oh I have been to heaven
And I found no relief
Cause I couldnt find the hand to hold
To keep me on my feet
I heard Jesus Christ was there
He had a car thats bulletproof
That way everyone is safe
From the man who tells the truth
Oh I have been to heaven
And I found no relief
Cause I couldnt find the hand to hold
To keep me on my feet
This isn't perfect as Derek plays it slightly differently
