Halfway To Heaven (LP版) - Harry Chapin[00:00:00]
Written by:Harry Chapin/Sandy Chapin[00:00:01]
There's no tick tock on your electric clock[00:00:12]
But still your life runs down[00:00:18]
There's no tick tock on your electric clock[00:00:24]
But still your life runs down[00:00:30]
I'm halfway to heaven and my home in Forest Hills[00:00:49]
It's halfpast eleven and I've got some time to kill[00:00:55]
I missed my bus connection my train got in too late[00:01:02]
And I'm forced into reflection by this half hour wait[00:01:08]
Now I have been a straight man[00:01:15]
And I've played it by the rules[00:01:18]
I been a good man a good husband[00:01:21]
Yes a good old fashioned fool[00:01:24]
I have a fine wife and two children[00:01:27]
Just like everybody's got[00:01:30]
But after fifteen years of marriage[00:01:33]
The fires don't burn too hot[00:01:37]
You see someone's played a trick on me[00:01:42]
They set me up so perfectly[00:01:46]
The gave me their morality[00:01:49]
And then changed the rules they set for me[00:01:51]
Someone must be laughing now[00:01:55]
Though it don't seem funny somehow[00:01:58]
How the world's accepting now[00:02:01]
What they once would not allow[00:02:04]
Back in my younger days[00:02:07]
The world has changed[00:02:10]
In so many ways[00:02:13]
My mother once said to me[00:02:16]
So many years ago now[00:02:19]
Don't you touch those bad girls[00:02:23]
So I never had girls[00:02:26]
Until I had my Mary when we married[00:02:29]
My Mary then had my two sons[00:02:34]
My life as a lover it was already done[00:02:38]
It was over before it had really begun[00:02:40]
You see someone played a trick on me[00:02:50]
They sent this little girl to me[00:02:53]
She is my new secretary[00:02:56]
And she's something to see[00:02:59]
She's a nice girl[00:03:02]
But it's a young world[00:03:04]
And she lives her life so free[00:03:08]
And she sure gets thru to me[00:03:11]
She brings her pad into my office[00:03:23]
She wears a sweater and a skirt[00:03:26]
And somewhere deep inside of me[00:03:30]
Something starts to hurt[00:03:33]
She's wearing nothing underneath[00:03:35]
I can see what's there to see[00:03:38]
She smiles and says you wanted me[00:03:41]
I'd have to agree[00:03:44]
You know how much I want her[00:03:50]
And I know that I could have her[00:03:53]
I know I could I know she would[00:03:56]
Make love to me[00:03:59]
So wonderfully[00:04:02]
God d**n[00:04:05]
I'm one horny mixed up mixture of a man[00:04:08]
In my head all my life I've been a sinner[00:04:18]
And in my bed with just my wife I'm still a beginner[00:04:24]
But tomorrow night I'm taking[00:04:30]
That little girl out to dinner[00:04:35]
No tick tock[00:04:39]
Electric clock[00:04:42]
Runs down[00:04:45]
No[00:04:49]
No tick tock[00:04:51]
Electric clock[00:04:55]
Runs down[00:04:58]
There's no tick tock on your electric clock[00:05:01]
But still your life runs down[00:05:07]
There's no no no no tick tock[00:05:13]
But still your life runs down[00:05:19]
There's no no no no no tick tock[00:05:25]
Your electric clock[00:05:30]
But still your life runs down[00:05:32]
There's no no tick tock[00:05:38]
On your electric clock[00:05:43]
No[00:05:50]
No tick tock[00:05:52]
Electric clock[00:05:55]
Life runs down[00:05:58]
No[00:06:02]
No tick tock[00:06:04]
