Back Next To Heaven Again

Her eyes were big and brown
And wide open
And she looked at him
With total abandonment
If anybody could save her
It was Bernie Stein
"Bernie Stein I love you"
She exclaimed in her silent
Shivering way.
If B.S. gave her the cock
The magic would be broken
If he only gave her books to read
His yearning would become never-ending
B.S. himself stood there puzzled
She stood there shivering
No matter what he gave her it would never be enough
"Lose your mind and come to your senses" Fritz would say.
He needed some sonic boom which would rattle his car
And bring out his siren.
What was he waiting for?
Heaven was in front of him,
So what if it led to hell's corridor,
Hell's corridor would lead
To heaven again.
