Pearly Gates

I was standing at the Pearly Gates

I was looking for a man of faith

I had questions pressing on me more than not

I was looking for some answers on the spot

Two girls walked in, paperwork in hand

They were tanned from the trip

They'd seen the judge, he'd heard 'em out

Wasn't lookin' good, wasn't lookin' good for us

What about us?

But like some roadside vet with a bag in hand

I could do anything St. Peter asked

For one chance to be an angel in his eyes

It seemed to be the safe bet, so I closed my eyes

And I opened my gates wide

And St. Peter came inside

Never, never be safe even if you're in the Gates

Give it up, you're just some man's daughter

Never, never be safe even if you're in the Gates

Give it up, you're just some man's daughter

I promise, this is not a rumor

I asked for nothing but to stop it short

I guess he didn't hear a word I said

And after he acted as if I hadn't been in his bed

I was definitely in his bed

Peter bragged he was good at pulling out

He always knew the right time to take a bow

He practiced it every single night

It hadn't failed him yet

He'd been doing it a long, long time

And Peter just does whatever Peter likes

Never, never be safe even if you're in the Gates

Give it up, you're just some man's daughter

Never, never be safe even if you're in the Gates

Give it up, you're just some man's daughter

Even if you're at the Pearly Gates

Even if you're at the Pearly Gates

Even if you're at the Pearly Gates

Even if you're at the Pearly Gates

Pearly Gates

Never (never, never be) at the Gates

Never, never be safe

Never, never be (safe)

Never, never at the Pearly Gates

Never (never, never be) at the Gates

Never, never be safe

Never, never be (safe)

Never, never at the Pearly Gates

Never (never, never be) at the Gates

Never, never be safe

Never, never be (safe)

Never, never at the Pearly Gates
