Heaven Tonight Lyrics

Down the line
Don't go over
There's a limit
You went over

So much time
Time runs out
Time ran out
Make it down

Would you like to go to heaven tonight?
Would you like to go heaven tonight?

Down the line
Couldn't get much
Couldn't get much
Higher if you tried

And tried...
And tried...

You're as guilty
It's a crime
Oh, it's a crime

Would you like to go to heaven tonight?
Would you like to go to heaven tonight?

You can never come down, you can never come down, you can never come down, you can never come down

You can never come down, you can never come down, you can never come down, you can never come down

Down inside
You're getting nervous
You've never been this high before
Oh!

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Some of Cheap Trick's early songs had a definite suicide theme... "Oh Candy" and "Auf Wedersehen" to name two... I always considered that this song was about suicide, too. But I could go with the OD'ing on heroin idea, too.

Great song... one of the finest examples of 1970's pop-art-rock. I would love to see this done live, with a orchestra.. the same way Led Zep did with "Kashmir". It would also make an awesome soundtrack to some death scene in a movie.

@ksandbergfl This album actually turned me off to suicide when I was 13 or 14.

I think it's about not doing too much heroin at once or for too long... oh no, you just OD'ed and died, shit. Or, "oh no, I've been a junkie for 10 years, shit....'. Maybe I'm wrong but I think it's definitely about some sort of drug and where it will take you, eventually.
