One of these days and probably soon I'm gonna go up to Heaven and meet my Lord Gonna cross that flame to 'The Silver Spring' I'm gonna go up to Heaven and meet my Lord One of these days I'm telling you the board I'm gonna go up to Heaven and meet my Lord I'm gonna slip right in to that big black void
(Ooh) Your rose is red but you're turning blue Silver cord wrapped 'around your neck as you dangle from the moon
Sold my body for all that it was worth I'm gonna go up to Heaven and meet my Lord Still couldn't buy some peace on earth I'm gonna go up to Heaven and meet my Lord You could sleep with a hundred girls I'm gonna go up to Heaven and meet my Lord No man alive ever fucked the world I'm gonna go up to Heaven and meet my Lord
(Ooh) I tried money, I tried drugs But there's no pill that's translucent ain' no powder white enough
I heard [?] but never told I'm gonna go up to Heaven and meet my Lord The nose of an angel locked with gold I'm gonna go up to Heaven and meet my Lord And if I make it to the holy grail I'm gonna go up to Heaven and meet my Lord Gonna bag it up some other time I'm gonna go up to Heaven and meet my Lord
(Ooh) And if you find yourself in hell Kiss the devil on the lips and swear you would never tell
One of these days and probably soon I'm gonna go up to Heaven and meet my Lord They're gonna glorify me in a tragic song I'm gonna go up to Heaven and meet my Lord One of these days I'm telling you the board I'm gonna go up to Heaven and meet my Lord I'm gonna slip right through that big black void
