The number one song in heaven

this is the number one song in heaven

written, of course, by the mightiest hand

all of the angels are sheep in the fold of their master

they always follow the master and his plan



this is the number one song in heaven

why are you hearing it now, you ask

maybe you're closer to here than you imagine

maybe you're closer to here than you care to be



(number one song)

(3x)



it's number one all over heaven (3x)

the number one song all over heaven



if you should die before you awake

if you should die while crossing the street

the song that you hear, I guarantee



it's number one all over heaven (3x)

the number one song all over heaven



the one that's the rage up here in the clouds

loud as a crowd or soft as a doubt

lyrically weak, but the music's the thing



gabriel plays it, god, how he plays it (3x)

gabriel plays it, let's hear him play it



the song filters down, down through the clouds

it reaches the earth and winds all around

and then it breaks up in millions of ways



it goes la la la, la la la la la

la la la, la la la la la (3x)



ooh, in cars it becomes a hit

and in your homes it becomes advertisements

and in the streets it becomes the children singing



ooh la la la la, la la la

number one song

(5x)



(number one song)

number one song

(number one song) (3x)
