Bank Vault in Heaven
[Intro]
Ah one, two, one
[Verse 1]
Got a bank vault in heaven
Got my name on the door
Every day I get richer
Add a little bit more
Come you tellers and lenders
And lend me some more
Got a bank vault in heaven
And it's mine evermore
[Chorus]
And the angels sing
"Fly, fly, fly"
The angels sing
"Fly, fly, fly"
Fly from the darkness that covers you all
Fly to the sky where the only wall
Is infinity, infinity
[Verse 2]
Gonna shine down from heaven
Right into your room
Take the minds of your children
Right off to the moon
Every mud hut and igloo
Every penthouse and farm
I'll shine down from heaven
And I'll do my snake charm
[Chorus]
And the angels say
"Sing, sing, sing"
Ooh
"Sing, sing, sing"
Oh, the whole world is singing the same happy tune
Something so low even the hound dogs can croon
To insanity, insanity
[Verse 3]
Oh, there's a signpost in heaven
In the firmament blue
You can run to the wastelands
But it points straight at you
I've got a bank vault in heaven
What joy will it bring?
All you Punches and Judys
I'll be pulling your strings
