Living life from day to day
And reading books from page to page,
I know life is just my stage
And I wish I could, I said I would,
I know I should do something good
And my God, I fear I'm shedding tears,
The colors change from year to year
Around here

And I said
How do I get to Heaven from here,
I wanna know
How do I get to Heaven from here

Holy Toledo, where does the time go
My dreads are locked,
My watch is stopped,
My glass half full, my gun is half-cocked
Mmmm, Holy Toledo, oooo

Now I've said too much, I'm losing touch
Step on the gas and off the clutch, mmmm
Oh, I'm gonna leave Toledo,
Have no fear well time goes slow
But I'm shifting gears

And I said
How do I get to Heaven from here,
Well I wanna know
How do I get to Heaven from here

Holy Toledo, where does the time go
My dreads are locked,
My watch is stopped,
My glass half full, my gun is half-cocked
How do I redeem my sins
Well, I sure hope
St Peter's gonna let me in Holy Toledo, mmmm

& I said how do I get to Heaven from here,
I wanna know how in the hell
Am I gonna to Heaven from here

Holy Toledo, where does the time go
My dreads are locked,
My watch is stopped,
My glass half full, my gun is half-cocked
How do I redeem my sins
Well open up St Peter
Ya better let me in
Holy Toledo

& I said how do I get to Heaven from here
