Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Everyone is trying
To get to the bar
Name of the bar
The bar is called Heaven
[Verse 2]
The band in Heaven
They play my favorite song
Play it one more time
Play it all night long
[Chorus]
Oh Heaven
Heaven is a place
A place where nothing
Nothing ever happens
Heaven
Heaven is a place
A place where nothing
Nothing ever happens
[Verse 3]
There is a party
Everyone is there
Everyone will leave
At exactly the same time
[Verse 4]
When this party is over
It will start again
It will not be any different
It will be exactly the same
[Chorus]
Oh Heaven
Heaven is a place
A place where nothing
Nothing ever happens
When this kiss is over
It will start again
It will not be any different
It will be exactly the same
[Verse 5]
It's hard to imagine
That nothing at all
Could be so exciting
Could be this much fun
[Chorus]
Oh Heaven
Heaven is a place
A place where nothing
Nothing ever happens
Heaven
Heaven is a place
A place where nothing
Nothing ever happens
