Heaven

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
