Roger Clyne Heaven On A Paper Plate lyrics

The grill is smokin'
My friends are jokin'
The kids are pokin' around in the mud
The sprinkler's broken
We got a little backyard flood

Screw-top wine
Rhythm and rhyme
My moonshine in a plastic cup
Somewhere someone's smokin' some sweet pot luck

So the bill collector's gonna have to wait
I got a long, long line of friends
Flowin' through my back gate


Don't-cha wonder what the poor folks are doin' tonight?
We got heaven on a paper plate

The coals are glowin'
The spirits flowin'
The way it's goin' this thing might have to last all night
Angels vs. devils in the alleyway squirt-gun fight

Vegetarian or carnivore, whatever your denomination
Everybody's welcome, won't cha come and join the congregations
Yes, you!
