Gates Of Heaven Lyrics - Singles - Killdozer

(One two three four...wait, that was too fast.) 

One man, one man without a gun. 

lonely...one man who stood alone. 

His name was Jesus named after 

a man who hung on a cross 

he is not a man of consequence 

Jesus did not have a prayer 

for he was pitted against the sort of folks 

that are not the sort of folks 

who are the sort who care 

One man, one man without a gun 

lonely...one man who had no one 

dying, he died a William Holden death 

drunken, liquor upon his dying breath 

his blood flowed, his mighty rivers blow, 

but he did not suffer any pain 

his final act was to not act at all 

the nectar had boiled his brain 

One man, one man without a gun 

lonely...one man who stood alone 

all dressed up with no place special to go 

as he stands and knocks at the gates of heaven 

the lord he was out 

the gates were all locked up 

a sign hung on the gate 

said the lord would return at seven.
