The Lyrics:

Everyone here is trying to get to the bar.
The name of the bar, the bar is called Heaven.
The band in Heaven they play my favorite song.
They play it once again, play it all night long.

Heaven, heaven is a place, a place where nothing, nothing ever happens.
Heaven, heaven is a place, a place where nothing, nothing ever happens.

There is a party, everyone is there.
Everyone will believe at exactly the same time.
It's hard to imagine, that nothing ever happens,
could be so exciting, could be so much fun.

Heaven, heaven is a place, a place where nothing, nothing ever happens.
Heaven, heaven is a place, a place where nothing, nothing ever happens.

When this kiss over, it will start again.
It will not be any different, it will be exactly the same.

It's hard to imagine, that nothing at all
could be so exciting, could be this much fun.

Heaven, heaven is a place, a place where nothing, nothing ever happens.
Heaven, heaven is a place, a place where nothing, nothing ever happens.

Heaven, heaven is a place, a place where nothing, nothing ever happens.
Heaven, heaven is a place, a place where nothing, nothing ever happens.

Only 2,391 views as of counting. What a sin. Yet Lady fucking GaGa gets millions; the world is fucked. Thanks for uploading this.

@TheAntihero6212 I remember that date well. I went with a friend of mine to my brothers house in Wilmington NC from Greensboro NC, about Raleigh we decide to see if we can find the finals, what we found was the radio coverage of the OJ chase, I was the same age then as you are now, it was surreal, but it is amazing everything that happened on that date, the ESPN 30by30 doc of that day is a cinematic time capsule truly for the ages.

I don't care what which word he sings...I just love hearing him sing this song.

@72911e The lyric as printed above are incorrect. The word THEY before play in the fourth line is not present in the recording. I beleive the word are printed on the album sleeve or cover, but I cannot find my copy.

Nothing ever happens

@72911e Really interesting. The written lyrics say "ever," but he does say "never." He could mean it in the way you mean, but he could do what so many people do and just use the double negative by accident. The great things about great songs is that they're open to interpretation — I like yours :-)
