You wanna ride the rails up to heaven but you love Janet, hail the Madonna, the way they move makes you wanna take a girl, and bring her home bring her home to mama ship. So here's to you, with your hairdo like Vulcan No Lambourgini No Masarati for you the way they move is driving you insane but there's no shame in yanking your own chain. All you heroes they got old and fat, Nirvana ain't ever coming back. You wanna vogue like an Apostle on Pluto but you'd lose Paula, Ta-ta to Tawney, The way they move, you wish you had the money but there's a party in your pocket, sonny You got the crew dressed up in track suits and sneakers, but you ain't hip hop, no fly girl dances for you, It's so hard for a man to catch a comet, the Little Prince played "Cream," and every rose was rockin'. MTV it ain't got the tunes, but they'll never take your fun away You found your own way out, you saved the day. they showed you Heaven, and you couldn't stay up in Heaven's Gate. Diamond Dave came and saved the day Heavn'ly hosts they sing hosannas on Europa Ave Mariah Carmen Electra You see em dancing at the Club La Vela A robot, pulling on a slot machine lever Best you can do is Watch the Wheels and Imagine it's you and Cher, she's riding on your cannon, Before it falls apart, let's laugh about it, One handed round of applause for the man of the hour. Yeah you jerk away, They showed you Heaven, and you couldn't stay, Yeah you jerked your way, Outta Heaven's Gate Yeah the Baywatch Babe held the night at bay Like something from the Golden Age and she loves you baby, one day she might even call. Jesus flies into outer space on applesauce and goofballs. Before it falls apart lets laugh about it. One handed round of applause for the man of the hour. The chance for love these days is south of zero but Jimmy Kirk might think that you're the hero. give yourself a hand, ditch the posers what you did wsa kinda cool what you did was kinda cool kinda cool what you did was kinda cool Yeah you jerk away they showed you Heaven, and you couldn't stay Yeah you jerked away Yeah you saved the day Yeah you jerked your way out of Heaven's Gate like something from the Golden Age That's why I love you baby. One day I might even call One day I might even call Jesus Flies Into Outer Space on applesauce and goofballs.
