HEAVEN lyrics

I had a secret, it killed me to keep it
Someone's to blame but you can't blame Jesus
Hey, hey
Singing hymns all alone in my basement

Cut it off, cut it off
Crucified for the life I'm living
Oh my God, hope I'm forgiven
Going to hell 'cause it feels like heaven
Speaking in tongues to release my demons
I can't help it, guess I'm a heathen
Going to hell 'cause it feels like heaven
If pleasure's wrong, cast me out like a sinner
I found myself with my two little fingers
Hey, hey
My right hands got me singing my praises
Holy water and my spirit awakens
Hey, hey
Cut it off, cut it off
Cut it off, cut it off
Crucified for the life I'm living
Oh my god, hope I'm forgiven
Going to hell 'cause it feels like heaven (yeah) ( yeah))
Speaking in tongues to release my demons
I can't help it, guess I'm a heathen
Going to hell 'cause it feels like heaven
Like heaven
Speaking in tongues to release my demons
I can't help it, guess I'm a heathen
Going to hell 'cause it feels like heaven, yeah
