Lyrics[]
Got off a plane to the countryside
I drove to the mountain and, holding the ground
There was crack on a corner and someone dead
And fire coming out of the monkey's head
Don't get lost in heaven, they got locks on the gate
Don't go over the edge, you'll make a big mistake
Put me in a cab to suburbia
I just took a line but I wasn't with you
There was more of it there, when I got back home
But you'd left me, you don't know my soul
You're a whole bad mistake, yeah, you're a whole one
Don't get lost in heaven, they got locks on the gate
Don't go over the edge, you'll make a big mistake
You'll make a big mistake. Aaaaaaahhhh
You'll make a big mistake. Aaaaaaahhhh
You'll make a big mistake. Aaaaaaahhhh
You'll make a big mistake. Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhh...

Trivia[]
The unedited version of the photo used for the cover art.
- Prior to the version of the song found in Demon Days, the song originally had a comedic stereotypical "Hillybilly" feel to it that was accompanied by banjo instrumentals. This version of the song was released in the D-Sides album of songs that did not have large scale releases like the hit singles in the Demon Days album.
- The cover art used for the song is part of a photoset from the Liberian Civil War which lasted from 1999 to 2003 (two years before the release of Demon Days).
- This song was originally listed as Don't Get Lost In Heaven - Original Demo Version but the demo got replaced by this track.
- With the exception of "Intro", this is the only song from Demon Days without an official instrumental, likely due to it being the last track finished for the album as a result of changes made from the demo version.
