IF WE ALL GET TO HEAVEN

If I ever get to heaven
elevate through Cloud Nine
past the Pearly Gates
just beyond Gabriel’s horny post…

If I ever get up so high I can’t see the ground
I’m gonna look for you
discover you uncover your celestial hiding place
and I’m gonna spit in your eye
and shit in your navel
and I’ll scream out your hair
and crush all your grapes
and then drink them myself.

And, even if it means immediate excommunication
and a dastardly demotion to some more demonic domicile
I will do it gladly
just to have finally done you wrong.
