Analysis of Where The Hell Is Heaven?



Where the hell is heaven?
Is it on the run?
We all want to find it before life is done.

Why the hell is heaven?
Is it meant to stun?
We all want to know it before life is done.

When the hell is heaven?
Is it set by sun?
We all want to time it before life is done.

How the hell is heaven?
Is it lots of fun?
We all want to feel it before life is done.

Who the hell is heaven?
Is it anyone?
We all want to woo it before life is done.

What the hell is heaven?
Is it just a pun?
We all want to make it before life is done.
