God Lives Upstairs Songtext

God Lives UpstairsThere was this manWho lived on the seashoreThe house with the steel doorYou passed it on the way to where you areHe stares at the sandFrom his bedroom windowShakes as the wind blowsThrough the passing tail-fins of your carNothing matters anymoreIf it does, he doesn't careThe devil lives below himGod lives upstairsHe's trying to sleepSo hard in the daylightImpossible at nightBetween those neighbours driving him insaneFootsteps from aboveBelow, it's all-night partiesAnd it's drink up, my heartiesThey're stoking up for the furnace once againNothing matters anymoreIf he does, he doesn't careThe devil lives below himGod lives upstairsHe hasn't a prayerBetween the heated floorboardsAnd the quiet guy on the third floorWho never even picks up all his mailHe knows where it goesDownstairs is stealingHe stares at the ceilingHek nows that all he has to do is failNothing matters anymoreIf it does, he doesn't careThe devil lives below himGod lives upstairsThe devil lives below himGod lives upstairs
