| You were right about the end
|
| It was hard and it was tense
|
| Nearing fast the river’s end
|
| This is it babe let’s pretend we’re on an escalator to heaven
|
| Wake up cradling your head
|
| Turn the shower on again
|
| Well the weeks they never end
|
| Quit your job babe let’s pretend
|
| They have a lot of wine in heaven
|
| In a hundred years
|
| Will you be right here
|
| Will I have lost the fear
|
| Of losing myself in freak accident
|
| Or will I still be irrationally afraid of everything?
|
| But I’m Procrastinator Major General
|
| As your superior
|
| I command you to do nothing with me till we die
|
| When you stand there
|
| And you look that way
|
| I feel like a cheap champagne bubbling up
|
| (to heaven)
|
| I’ve been standing in this river
|
| I’ve been waiting for you
|
| I’ve visualized the afterlife
|
| I’ve punctured all the clues
|
| And I’ve been lining them up
|
| (to heaven)
|
| I know you don’t want to hear it
|
| But I gotta tell the truth
|
| Don’t know how it’ll happen yet
|
| I haven’t set the rules
|
| But one day I’ll be losing you
|
| (to heaven)
|
| When you stand there
|
| And you look that way
|
| I feel like the first of May
|
| Covered in flowers and rain
|
| When I get to heaven
|
| If I get to heaven
|
| Gonna live forever
|
| On caviar and lemons |
