[00:00:00] Halfway To Heaven (LP版) - Harry Chapin

[00:00:01] Written by：Harry Chapin/Sandy Chapin

[00:00:12] There's no tick tock on your electric clock

[00:00:18] But still your life runs down

[00:00:24] There's no tick tock on your electric clock

[00:00:30] But still your life runs down

[00:00:49] I'm halfway to heaven and my home in Forest Hills

[00:00:55] It's halfpast eleven and I've got some time to kill

[00:01:02] I missed my bus connection my train got in too late

[00:01:08] And I'm forced into reflection by this half hour wait

[00:01:15] Now I have been a straight man

[00:01:18] And I've played it by the rules

[00:01:21] I been a good man a good husband

[00:01:24] Yes a good old fashioned fool

[00:01:27] I have a fine wife and two children

[00:01:30] Just like everybody's got

[00:01:33] But after fifteen years of marriage

[00:01:37] The fires don't burn too hot

[00:01:42] You see someone's played a trick on me

[00:01:46] They set me up so perfectly

[00:01:49] The gave me their morality

[00:01:51] And then changed the rules they set for me

[00:01:55] Someone must be laughing now

[00:01:58] Though it don't seem funny somehow

[00:02:01] How the world's accepting now

[00:02:04] What they once would not allow

[00:02:07] Back in my younger days

[00:02:10] The world has changed

[00:02:13] In so many ways

[00:02:16] My mother once said to me

[00:02:19] So many years ago now

[00:02:23] Don't you touch those bad girls

[00:02:26] So I never had girls

[00:02:29] Until I had my Mary when we married

[00:02:34] My Mary then had my two sons

[00:02:38] My life as a lover it was already done

[00:02:40] It was over before it had really begun

[00:02:50] You see someone played a trick on me

[00:02:53] They sent this little girl to me

[00:02:56] She is my new secretary

[00:02:59] And she's something to see

[00:03:02] She's a nice girl

[00:03:04] But it's a young world

[00:03:08] And she lives her life so free

[00:03:11] And she sure gets thru to me

[00:03:23] She brings her pad into my office

[00:03:26] She wears a sweater and a skirt

[00:03:30] And somewhere deep inside of me

[00:03:33] Something starts to hurt

[00:03:35] She's wearing nothing underneath

[00:03:38] I can see what's there to see

[00:03:41] She smiles and says you wanted me

[00:03:44] I'd have to agree

[00:03:50] You know how much I want her

[00:03:53] And I know that I could have her

[00:03:56] I know I could I know she would

[00:03:59] Make love to me

[00:04:02] So wonderfully

[00:04:05] God d**n

[00:04:08] I'm one horny mixed up mixture of a man

[00:04:18] In my head all my life I've been a sinner

[00:04:24] And in my bed with just my wife I'm still a beginner

[00:04:30] But tomorrow night I'm taking

[00:04:35] That little girl out to dinner

[00:04:39] No tick tock

[00:04:42] Electric clock

[00:04:45] Runs down

[00:04:49] No

[00:04:51] No tick tock

[00:04:55] Electric clock

[00:04:58] Runs down

[00:05:01] There's no tick tock on your electric clock

[00:05:07] But still your life runs down

[00:05:13] There's no no no no tick tock

[00:05:19] But still your life runs down

[00:05:25] There's no no no no no tick tock

[00:05:30] Your electric clock

[00:05:32] But still your life runs down

[00:05:38] There's no no tick tock

[00:05:43] On your electric clock

[00:05:50] No

[00:05:52] No tick tock

[00:05:55] Electric clock

[00:05:58] Life runs down

[00:06:02] No

[00:06:04] No tick tock
