It's a quarter past eleven in the city
And the people are preparing for the night
Where the girls around the corner look so pretty
But they keep their faces hidden from the light
Oh no, don't go
Don't lose your self-control
Be strong, or so long
It's the wrong way to the gates of heaven
To the gates of heaven
When you walk the streets you tremble with excitement
Caus' you hope for something special to come along
But inside your heart you are a little frightened
That you'll be alone with the rising of the sun
Oh no, don't go
Don't lose your self-control
Be strong, or so long
It's the wrong way to the gates of heaven
To the gates of heaven
When a lady's making moves at you, you shiver
Now she's close to you, you smell her sweet perfume
She offers you her body and she'll deliver
Then you know that heaven's waiting in her room
Oh no, don't go
Don't lose your self-control
Be strong, or so long
It's a long way to the gates of heaven
To the gates of heaven
