A song about a fantasy hook-up gone bad
Story behind the song
A regular guy wants to experience a fantasy encounter and tries to make it happen - but things don't turn out as expected.
Lyrics
Seventh Heaven
Pat Thompson (02/09/08)
(verse 1)
He was your average sort of guy
Who was usually kind of shy
But tonight, he seemed sort of clever
He could see from afar
She was leaving for her car
So he thought it was now or never
(pre-chorus 1)
He had a 50/50 chance
And they both were entranced
The chemistry would not be denied
He knew it couldn’t last
Yet it had a touch of class
The anxiety - he tried to INVALID chorus)
He was a heck of a man
She was a hell of a woman
Dancing in the pale moonlight
It should have been the consummation
Of their mutual flirtation
But the error… and the terror ruled the night
(verse 2)
He asked her to go
To a place that he knows
Where Forest Way meets Road Eleven
Down deep in the woods
Where they knew that they could
At a place called Seventh Heaven
(pre-chorus 2)
They saw the glow of the fire
From this Inn of Desire
When they turned into their destination
It was hard to surmise
From the looks in their eyes
If it was dread or anticipation
(chorus)
He was a heck of a man
She was a hell of a woman
Dancing in the pale moonlight
It should have been the consummation
Of their mutual flirtation
But the error… and the terror ruled the night
(bridge)
Beware the fantasy
When you try to make it true
So just be careful what you wish for
It may lose its appeal to you
(verse 3)
They went up to the door
Met by a lady in black
And now they knew
There was no turning back
They entered the place
With a smile on their faces
But the facade was starting to crack
(pre-chorus 3)
The definition between love and lust got lost
They really started paying the cost
When they left in the night
Driven by fright
They never would meet again
(chorus)
He was a heck of a man
She was a hell of a woman
Dancing in the pale moonlight
It should have been the consummation
Of their mutual flirtation
But the error… and the terror ruled the night
(pre-chorus 3)
Yeah, it was an evening of pleasure
That turned into pain
Arrived with their sanity
then went insane
Only the memories of madness remain
From a place called Seventh Heaven
(chorus)
He was a heck of a man
She was a hell of a woman
Dancing in the pale moonlight
It should have been the consummation
Of their mutual flirtation
But the error… and the terror ruled the night
