[VOX]
It's not what Heaven is
It's what it could be
With new management in charge
Like you and you and me

Once we get up there
And snag that angelic throne
Our unholy trinity could make their realm our own
We'll pack up all their piety and redecorate
Bet our tower would look powerful with pearlier gates
Once we get up there
Up to the promised land
A hundred billion souls await our every command
We're the biggest fish in Hell, how 'bout we upgrade the bowl?
It's time for growth, let's rule 'em both!
Take total control

Think of all your dreams that could come true

[VALENTINO]
Even the wet ones?

[VOX]
Yeah, those too!
Imagine what it could enable

[VELVETTE]
For my label

[VOX]
Yes!
A heavenly host that bows to none but us

[VALENTINO]
I can have hot new angel $luts

[VELVETTE]
Tear off their wings and make 'em dresses!

[VOX, VELVETTE & VALENTINO]
And what's best is

[VELVETTE]
That dumb princess showed us the way

[VALENTINO]
To make those haloed cabrónas pay

[VOX]
And once we're gods, I can't wait to say
To everyone who doubted me, your doubting days are done
You'll be cornered, trapped and tortured
Then I'll end you, just for fun

Once we get up there
The shining kingdom of God
No more petty squabbles with the dead
As we stroll the golden promenade

[VOX, VALENTINO & VALENTINO]
What's an overlord to a deity?
They ain't got a prayer

[VELVETTE]
It'll be so nice in paradise

[VALENTINO]
With a splash of vice, they'll pay the price

[VOX, VALENTINO & VALENTINO]
We'll rule the sky from up on high

[VOX]
Once I

[VALENTINO]
And I

[VELVETTE]
And I

[VOX, VALENTINO & VELVETTE]
Get up there

[VOX, spoken]
They're fu*ked!
