St. Iblis' Blues
words and music by Stephen Barling
If they kick you out of heaven
And ol' Peter blocks the door
It doesn't mean you're evil
Just too ornery for the choir
You can plead your case to angels
Some of them will dig your lies
But don't expect no den of heathens
To pity your demise
For paradise eternal
Many men would trade their souls
But to trip the light completely
Only you can ever know
It's a wild ride if you're able
Even wilder if you ain't
So just keep your eyes on heaven
And we'll try to call you Saint
When they kick you out of heaven
And ol' Peter blocks the gate
Don't let it make you bitter
Even Jesus had to wait
