STRAIGHT TO HEAVEN
An accident happened on the street
Only the young father of a family
That's just the way things always go
We have to make it, if we don't we fall
Just for a second, simply a moment
We stop and stare, just for a moment
We pass the scene, we're behind time
Have to get back to our everyday life
Straight to Heaven, go straight to Heaven
or did your soul go up in smoke at thirty-seven?
Straight to hell, or straight to Heaven?
Did your mother never warn you about the danger?
The kids, they wait in vain for you today
They sense somehow that you've gone away
And little sad eyes watch out at your place
There's no one who can ever take your place
A wooden cross at the side of the road
The ditch is filled with ordinary blood
In front, a little bunch of dying blooms
A burning candle in memory of your doom
Straight to Heaven, go straight to Heaven
or did your soul go up in smoke at thirty-seven?
Straight to hell, or straight to Heaven?
Did your mother never warn you about the danger?
We're home again, my sunshine
We're so cosy and so warm
You lie beside me, naked
and hold me in your arms
We know it's just a cold comfort
But I can't get it out of my head
'cause I saw us there, dying,
in that dead man on the street
Straight to Heaven......
