if you die
you don't have to be
in the top of your industry
all you have to do is just
lay there. . .
People say it's sad
if you go and die real suddenly
but all you have to do
is just lay there
Everyone will cry
when you're gone,
but will you even know?
While you’re soaking in heaven above
will you raise a toast
to your dead self
while we cry
and the angels sigh,
"Alleluia!"
If you die
you don't have to watch your
children make mistakes--
ruining the beauty of your
gene pool
If you die
you don’t have to pay the rent
or run the race
all you have to do
is just lay there
Everyone will
cry when you're gone
but will you taste their tears?
While you soaking in heaven's champagne
and warm angelic spheres
are rolling down your back
in a sweet massage. . .
will you miss us?
- interlude -
If you die
you don't have to be
in the top of your industry
all you have to do
is just lay there
Folks get mad when you die
cuz it makes more paperwork for them
but all you have to do
is just lay there
Everyone who loved you
will cry and say the nicest things
about the way you brightened their lives
and how the they loved your sins
the ones they didn't like
while you were alive. . .
they miss now
//
when you raise
that angel glass
the lights go on
you're home at last
old friends are glad
you've joined them
in club heaven
when you hear that
that angel blast
the lights go on
you're home at last
old friends are glad
you've joined them
in the bubbles
oh the bubbles
oh the bubbles
oh the bubbles. . .oh!
heaven is a place on earth
