Ascension Blues Lyrics

She said she's sick of all the sucking up
She said I'm terrified of coming down
She wants to meet me back uptown

Diane Lane kept me sane through the spring
I was flirting with her films
I was trying to say something that seemed kind of interesting
Still trying to figure out if she felt anything

We walked into the church and people got down on the floor
Rolled around and banged the chairs all filled up with the spirit of the Lord
I've never felt like that before

I only bow down to the jetset
...we haven't met yet
We're gonna all be friends in heaven
We're gonna all be friends in heaven

She said he looked like Jimmy Connors
She said he tasted like the Calvin Klein
She said we had a pretty huge time

He came onto the court; and he knelt before the sword
There was feedback in the speakers and the soundman fried the board
I'm pretty sure I went there once before

It came to me on television
Richard Gere in Days of Heaven
Walking through Sam Shepherd's mansion
The Hold Steady - Ascension Blues - http://motolyrics.com/the-hold-steady/ascension-blues-lyrics.html
We're gonna all be friends in heaven
We're gonna all be friends in heaven
We're gonna all be friends in heaven

She said I know you've got a lot of love to give
But no you, no you can't know where I live
I know you're trying to keep it pretty positive
And if it makes you feel a little bit better

We're gonna all be friends in heaven

All the people on the TV

We're gonna all be friends in heaven

All the actress and the actors

We're gonna all be friends in heaven

To be young wild and pretty

We're gonna all be friends in heaven

In the sweet part of the city

We're gonna all be friends in heaven
We're gonna get something in heaven
We're gonna get something in heaven
We're gonna get something in heaven
We're gonna all be friends in heaven
