I'm on the wrong side of Heaven, I'm on the outside looking in, Peeping through a window At the warmth that lay within. On the low side of Paradise, Out along the fringe, The streets are just gold-plated, And with corrosion, tinged Beyond the reach of Zion, Somewhere across the tracks, With the Fallen's tarnished halos, Their wings all burnt and black I walk along the boundary line Here I'm forced to dwell- Not saint enough for Heaven, Nor sinner fit for Hell.

The Wrong Side of Heaven
I'm on the wrong side of Heaven, I'm on the outside looking in, Peeping through a window At the warmth that lay within. On the low side of Paradise, Out along the fringe, The streets are just gold-plated, And with corrosion, tinged Beyond the reach of Zion, Somewhere across the tracks, With the Fallen's tarnished halos, Their wings all burnt and black I walk along the boundary line Here I'm forced to dwell- Not saint enough for Heaven, Nor sinner fit for Hell.
