Текст песни No Laughing in Heaven - Live - Gillan

I used to be a sinner, used to have my cake and eat it
They warned me of the fate, but I was quite dead to meet it
"You're gonna hell," they smiled at me
And told me of the roaring fires
I was happy living wild and fueling my own desires
I was a wild man, drinking, smoking, messing around with women
Lots of women, go nuts! Women, women, women

Wanna go to heaven
The place to be is right up there
I wanna go to heaven
The guilt's all gone, just so there

I decided to reform and pray and beg mercy for my soul
I prayed at church, threw away my bad habits, prayed out of church
Adopted an entirely different role
I gave money to the poor until I was poor
Then at least I ensured that I would go up there
Instead of down below into the inferno
Where the evil flames of desire burn
Higher and higher and higher and higher

Gonna go to heaven
The guilt's all gone, just so there
I wanna go to heaven
The guilt's all gone, just so there

I knocked on the pearly gates, neatly sidestepped the long queue
Waving hi to Saint Peter who checked my card and let me through
I smiled, threw my hands in the air and laughed, and got arrested
They said, "Hey man, you're in the wrong place
Your behavior is a disgrace
Here we pray every hour of the hour
Read extracts from the Bible, look solemn, watch and pray
No party, no party, let me out of here
Let me out, let me out, let me out of here"

Let me out of heaven
I've got it wrong, no, I can't stay here
No laughing in heaven
Let me out, I just can't stay here

I looked around in a state of shock
And panic, this wasn't what I expected
Here was what looked like a bunch of manic-depressives
"God, can I get a transfer?" I screamed
But no, once you're in heaven, you're here for good
"The good of your soul"
"That's no good to me"
If you go to hell, you've really gotta be bad
"Okay, okay, I'll be bad, I'll be bad"
"Too late"
"What do you mean, too late?"
"Too late now"

Let me out of heaven
I've got it wrong, no, I can't stay here
No laughing in heaven
God, it's awful in here
Go crazy in heaven
Take me out, let me go to heaven
No laughing in heaven
God, this place is hell
