[Verse 1: Michael Stipe]
It's been pretty simple so far
Vacation in Athens is calling me
And knock, knock, knock on wood
I thought I'd left you behind

[Interlude: Michael Stipe]
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ho, ho, ho, ho
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ho, ho, ho, ho

[Chorus: Michael Stipe & Bill Berry]
Heaven is yours
Heaven is yours
Heaven is yours where I live

[Verse 2: Michael Stipe]
The thought of the catacombs
Left my soul at home
This letter never sent
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

[Pre-Chorus: Mike Mills & Michael Stipe]
But it's so far (Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho)
It's all gone
It's all lies
[Chorus: Michael Stipe with Bill Berry & Mike Mills]
Heaven is yours (You know it's scary)
Heaven is yours (It's always scary for a while)
Heaven is yours where I live (It's always scary)

[Bridge: Michael Stipe & Mike Mills]
When I'm moving too fast
Where's my new address?

[Verse 3: Michael Stipe]
The water is evening now
The catacombs are filling in
If my soul was made of stone
No, knock knock, so bark dark

[Pre-Chorus: Mike Mills & Michael Stipe]
But it's so far (Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho)
It's all gone
It's all lies
But it's so far
It's all flying (Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho)
It's all lies

[Chorus: Michael Stipe with Bill Berry & Mike Mills]
Heaven is yours (You know it's scary)
Heaven is yours (It's always scary for a while)
Heaven is yours where I live (It's always scary)
Heaven is yours (You know it's scary)
Heaven is yours (It's always scary for a while)
Heaven is yours where I live (It's always scary)
