I got a little story to tell
|
See it was September 1st, 1999, the day of my death
|
My back was on the cold concrete as I take my last breath
|
Saw my body laying on the ground as my soul hovered above me
|
Damn Eyedea you was a good lookin' cat
|
But anyway another day at 18 years of age
|
Step in heaven's gate anxious to see what God got to say
|
Maybe he'll give me a gift for always saying my prayers
|
But he might send me downstairs for last year's love affair
|
Well who cares
|
You know right now it's all a mystery
|
I mean I'll find out when I get there
|
Until then I can't let it get to me
|
I'm keepin' my cool
|
Besides everybody dies
|
I'll just follow the white light like the do in the movies
|
|
It seems like I was went by and I'm still travelin
|
Right towards the brightness
|
Now this ain't heaven of hell
|
This realm is lifeless
|
And I hate to say it
|
But this wild goose chase had me bored
|
No directions, no clues, no idea what I was in for
|
But forward I kept floating
|
And then a quick flash the lights split directly in half
|
And created a forked path
|
Representing each side is an angel
|
Now whats the task I have to untangle to meet the big man in charge I ask
|
And one on the right of me says one of us always lies and one that always tells the truth
|
Ask the right one the right question he'll direct you to heaven
|
If ask the wrong one son, farwell you going straight to well....
|
Y'all get the picture
|
|
The one on my left told me not to listen to his fibs
|
He said it ain't that complicated to find out where god lives
|
He told me to follow his path
|
and tell god that he said hi
|
Then the one on my right jumped in and told me not to believe his lies
|
and I'm like Jesus Fucking Christ
|
I didn't care much for life
|
But I've tried to stay alive forever if I knew this is what death was like
|
I was never good at problem solving especially in emergencies
|
I get a tad bit nervous when concerned with burning for eternity
|
but anyway I asked them which one lied and they pointed at each other
|
Thinking I'd had it I asked the name of my mother
|
One said he don't know the other said he know but he can't tell me
|
God damn this is going to be hard
|
|
So I asked 30 questions and I still wasn't sure
|
but being me I gave those pricks a few good words
|
Frustrated with it all
|
I turned my back to the angels and when I walked away to my surprise
|
I found myself in heaven
|
|
(Ya know I'm saying
|
Kinda just turned around from the whole situation
|
Rejecting everything that was going on
|
Thats how I walked into heaven)
|
|
I Walked away, walked away, walked straight into heaven...
|
I Walked away, walked away, walked straight into heaven...
