Mansion In The Sky - original song by Matt Nappo

A simple song about suicide, religion and feeling empty.

Shout out the the Shady Dell in Bisbee, AZ\

Lyrics:
The last time I saw Alice
at a truck stop north of Dallas
she was headed west with nothing but the clothes upon her back
when she called to say she missed me
from the Shady Dell in Bisbee
I realized she'd gone to fat and wasn't coming back

She said she finally wrote her thesis
and she was going home to Jesus
I asked what would happen if she didn't find him there
But she said she had a vision
inspired by religion
then she took some pills and went to sleep
and I don't even care

She threw away her life
for a mansion in the sky
and I know that it and right
that I have no tears to cry
but she put her faith in something
that to me is all a lie

Well lately I've been thinking
maybe I'll quit drinking
and for moment maybe I could finally see things clear
But I couldn't find a reason
with nothing to believe in
so I changed my mind and rolled a joint
and opened my first beer

She threw away her life
for a mansion in the sky
and I know that it and right
that I have no tears to cry
but she put her faith in something
that to me is all a lie
