Coyote Recaptures the Stolen Jewell and Returns it into the Sea

lyrics

you can’t go to heaven on roller skates
you’ll roll right by the pearly gates
you can’t go to heaven in a rocking chair
a rocking chair won’t get you there
and you can’t get to heaven in a motorcar
a motorcar won’t go that far
you better not bother to call a limousine
cause god don’t sell no gasoline

So we don’t need to grieve no more, no more/ No we don’t need to grieve no more

You can’t go to heaven in your girlfriend's note
God’s not home that’s all she wrote
And you can’t go to heaven with a holy ghost
The holy ghost is on vacation in a cottage on the coast
And you can’t get to heaven with a holy war
God don’t like his picture in the liquor store
And you can’t go to heaven with no guns that shoot
Because god’s bullet proof and she's bullshit proof

So we don’t need to grieve no more, no more/ No we don’t need to grieve no more

No you can’t get to heaven with any kind of superstition
God don’t mind a little magic man
but come on use your intuition
You’re not going to get to heaven
with the catholic church
God don’t want no money
from the hands of those perverts
And you’re not going to get to heaven
if you’re a Zionist Jew
God chose Moses but he didn’t choose you
And you’re not going to get to heaven
if you’re a Muslim man too
Allah’s got a beard but he don’t like one on you
And you’re not going to go to heaven if you believe in hell
God don’t like no pissing in his wishing well
And it doesn't really matter if you’re born again
Because if you’re not dead then you can’t get in

Know you can’t get to heaven
if you’re waiting to go there
If you were on your way then you’d already be there
So if I get there before you do
I'll dig a hole and pull you through
And if you get there before I do
You'd be with me if I were you

So we don’t have to grieve no more, more
No we won't have to grieve no more (repeat....)
