Heaven's Gonna Happen Now Lyrics
Justine, you're dying just to hear the sound
and dreaming of another town
cuz nothing here is going on
Write now, cuz all your real friends are words
You've never ever been so sure
that what you've got can't be cured
And now, nothing's gonna turn us down
You can't sit there and look scared
when everything's happening now
Come on, nothing's gonna turn us down
So don't stand there like you don't care
cuz heaven's gonna happen now
Look down, don't see yourself between the lines
Just tell them that you're doing fine
cuz I can tell you're doing time
In a cell that looks just like a family home
where solitaire is all you know
and there's nowhere that you could go
Break down, or maybe just break the skin
You're writing down everything
cuz words are still a faithful friend
So now, tell me what you're gonna do
cuz I can see the fire in you,
and I can see it's burning through
and dreaming of another town
cuz nothing here is going on
You've never ever been so sure
that what you've got can't be cured
You can't sit there and look scared
when everything's happening now
So don't stand there like you don't care
cuz heaven's gonna happen now
Just tell them that you're doing fine
cuz I can tell you're doing time
where solitaire is all you know
and there's nowhere that you could go
You're writing down everything
cuz words are still a faithful friend
cuz I can see the fire in you,
and I can see it's burning through

i love this song!
Any ideas what the Pains or Kip's religious views may be? (I know Kip is Jewish but I was just curious how metaphorical the heaven reference is-it clearly seems to be a reference to immanence-heaven HERE not transcendent-elsewhere)
Is the name Justine a reference to the Smashing Pumpkins song 1979? I always though that Justine in 1979 was a reference to the Marquis de Sade-(she didn't know the rules unlike her more corrupt/experienced sibling Juliette)
