Mansions In Heaven - John Mellencamp

作词：John Mellencamp

作曲：John Mellencamp

The old paper mill

Stinks up the beaches

As I walk along the ocean shore

I'm just a plain man

Thoughts full of creases

Haven't accomplished much

But I dream of more

Mansions in heaven

I see myself walking with the king

The angels are descending

To wrap me up

In red

Velveteen

I don't control much

Of my home life

I'm not an old man

But I'm not young anymore

Haven't kept in contact with any of my good friends

So I live with strangers and sleep on another man's

Floor

Mansions in heaven

I see myself walking with the king

The angels are descending

To wrap me up

In red

Velveteen

As I pack my suitbag

'Cause soon I'll be leaving

Going back to the earth which is where I come

From

Withstood the heartache

Kept on believing

It ain't winning or losing

Just the singing of the song

Mansions in heaven

I see myself walking with the king

The angels are descending

To wrap me up

In red

Velveteen

Mansions in heaven

I see myself walking with the king

Mansions in heaven

The old paper mill

Stinks up the beaches

As I walk along the ocean shore
