Bank Vault In Heaven - Richard Thompson

Got a bank vault in heaven, got my name on the door

Every day I get richer, add a little bit more

Come you tellers and lenders and lend me some more

Got a bank vault in heaven and it’s mine for evermore

And the angels sing «Fly, fly, fly»

The angels sing «Fly, fly, fly»

Fly from the darkness that covers you all

Fly to the sky where the only wall is infinity, infinity

Going to shine down from heaven right into your room

Take the minds of your children right off to the moon

Every mud hut and igloo, every penthouse and farm

I’ll shine down from heaven and I’ll do my snake-charm

And the angels say «Sing, sing, sing», «Sing, sing, sing»

Oh the whole world is singing the same happy tune

Something so low even hound dogs can croon to insanity, insanity

Oh there’s a signpost in heaven, in the firmament blue

You can run to the wastelands, but it points straight at you

I’ve got a bank vault in heaven, what joy will it bring

All you Punchs and Judys, I’ll be pulling your strings
