Текст песни Halfway To Heaven

There's no tick tock on your electric clock

But still your life runs down

There's no tick tock on your electric clock

But still your life runs down

I'm halfway to heaven and my home in Forest Hills

It's half past the eleven and I've got some time to kill

I missed my bus connection my train got in too late

And I'm forced into reflection by this half hour wait

Now I have been a straight man and I've played it by the rules

I been a good man, a good husband, a good old fashioned fool

I have a fine wife and two children just like everybody's got

But after fifteen years of marriage the fires don't burn too hot

Ah, someone played a trick on me

They set me up so perfectly

They gave me their morality

And then changed the rules they set for me

Someone must be laughing now

Though it don't seem funny somehow

How the world's accepting now

What they once would not allow

Back in my younger days

The world has changed in so many ways

My mother once said to me

So many years ago now

Don't you touch those bad girls

So I never had girls

Until I had my Mary when we married

My Mary then had my two sons

My life as a lover was already done

It was over before it had really begun

Ah, someone played a trick on me

They sent this little girl to me

She is my new secretary

And she's something to see

Yeah, she's a nice girl

But it's a young world

And she lives her life so free

And she sure gets through to me

She brings her pad into my office, she wears a sweater and a skirt

And somewhere deep inside of me something starts to hurt

She's wearing nothing underneath, I can see what's there to see

She smiles and says, "You wanted me?" I'd have to agree

You know how much I want her

And I, I know that I could have her

I know I could, I know she would

Make love to me, so wonderfully

God damn, I'm one crazy mixed up mixture of a man.

In my head all my life I've been a sinner

And in my bed with just my wife I'm still a beginner

But tomorrow night I'm taking that little girl out to dinner

No, no tick tock

Electric clock

Run down

No, no tick tock

Electric clock

Run down

No, no tick tock

Electric clock

Run down
