St. Peter takes a break from the gates of Heaven to go party it up in Vegas.
lyrics
Peter tripped on the Vegas Strip- fell from the sky
Cunt was zoomin’, he was lucky he was even alive
Clipped his wings in Bat Country, sold them on Fremont Street
For a dime
St. Peter’s on an ether binge
He’s depraved!
He looks like a hippie fisherman
In Vegas, baby!
Peter rolled in the Bellagio and picked up the dice
Wagered it all and Keys of Heaven on the come line
Snake eyes stole his paradise
Too weird for holy life, too rare to ever die
St. Peter’s on an ether binge
He’s depraved!
(Why can’t Peter walk on water?)
He lost God a lot of real estate
(Lost his faith in God the Father)
Past Heaven’s Gate
Peter became a beast
He got rid of the pain
Of being a man
Neon-soaked crucifix
His hit’s kickin’ in
Ten bucks a tab
Zoink!
(Why can’t Peter walk on water?)
St. Peter’s on an ether binge
(Lost his faith in God the Father)
He’s depraved!
(Why can’t Peter walk on water?)
He looks like a hippie fisherman
(Lost his faith in God the Father)
In Vegas, baby!
(Why can’t Peter walk on water?)
St. Peter’s on an ether binge
(Lost his faith in God the Father)
He’s depraved!
(Why can’t Peter walk on water?)
He lost God alotta real estate
(Lost his faith in God the Father)
Past Heaven’s Gate
