UP IN HEAVEN THE ANGELS PLAY MUSIC
--J. Wrabek
1.
They say up in Heaven the angels play music,
And I can maybe join them when I die;
Singing songs about Jesus, up there in the breezes,
Enjoyin’ the sweet by and by;
Where there’s no pain and no sorrow and no wakin’ up tomorrow
Wonderin’ what we did the night befo’—
They say up in Heaven the angels play music
But I bet it ain’t the kind I used to know,
I bet it ain’t the kind I used to know.
2.
They say up in Heaven the angels play music
Pickin’ songs of peace and joy and such;
I hope they’re not concerned about getting any girls
‘Cause fingerpickin’ hymns won’t help you much;
And they’re prob’ly playin’ harps, and I’d like my guitar
But you can’t take it with you when you go--
They say up in Heaven the angels play music
But I bet it ain’t the kind I used to know,
I bet it ain’t the kind I used to know.
[GRATUITOUS INSTRUMENTAL BREAK—ANYONE PLAY HARP?]
3.
They say up in Heaven the angels play music;
I wish I could bring the band along;
We got drums, we got bass, they can set up anyplace,
And it really helps when someone knows the songs;
But the folks up in the clouds will prob’ly say that we’re too loud,
And we won’t have another place to go—
They say up in Heaven the angels play music
But I bet it ain’t the kind I used to know,
I bet it ain’t the kind I used to know.
4.
They say up in Heaven the angels play music:
Songs of perfection day and night;
There ain’t no lost love in the realms up above,
No b*** in’ and no cheatin’ and no fights;
They can’t sing the blues ‘cause they’ve never met you—
You come from somewhere angels never go—
They say up in Heaven the angels play music
But I bet it ain’t the kind I used to know,
I bet it ain’t the kind I used to know.
[SECOND GRATUITOUS INSTRUMENTAL BREAK]
5.
They say up in Heaven the angels play music;
And perhaps they have saved a place for me,
If I was the Lord, I’d be getting’ really bored
Hearin’ songs of praise eternally;
Well, if He ever gets the cravin’ for some serious inspiration
I know a couple places we could go—
They say up in Heaven the angels play music
But I bet it ain’t the kind I used to know,
I bet it ain’t the kind I used to know.
