For what it's worth, this is exactly how I interpret this song too: she's
saying that now we've "de-mystified" the skies by sending so many people up
there, we can no longer expect people to believe that heaven is up there
somewhere. And I never thought that "the lord on death row" referred to any
one person, but rather was said in conjunction with the line about the
heavens, ie. if we're saying that heaven is no longer there, how can we be
sure there's a god, hence the whole concept of god and heaven getting shaky,
eg. on death row.
My $0.02.
