The Afterlife

[Verse 1]
After I died and the makeup had dried
I went back to my place
No moon that night but a heavenly light
Shone on my face

[Verse 2]
Still I thought it was odd there was no sign of God
Just to usher me in
Then a voice from above, sugar coated with love
Said "let us begin"

[Chorus]
You got to fill out a form first
And then you wait in the line
You got to fill out a form first
And then you wait in the line

[Verse 3]
Okay, new kid in school, got to follow the rule
You got to learn the routine
Whoa, there's a girl over there with the sunshiny hair
Like a homecoming queen

[Verse 4]
I said, "Hey, what you say? It's a glorious day
By the way, how long you been dead?
Maybe you, maybe me, maybe baby makes three"
But she just shook her head

[Chorus]
You got to fill out a form first
And then you wait in the line
You got to fill out a form first
And then you wait in the line

[Verse 5]
Buddha and Moses and all the noses
From narrow to flat
Had to stand in the line just to glimpse the divine'
What you think about that?

[Verse 6]
Well it seems like our fate to suffer and wait
For the knowledge we seek
It's all his design, no one cuts in the line
No one here likes a sneak

[Chorus]
You got to fill out a form first
And then you wait in the line
You got to fill out a form first
And then you wait in the line

[Verse 7]
After you climb up the ladder of time
The Lord God is near
Face to face in the vastness of space
Your words disappear

[Verse 8]
And you feel like swimming in an ocean of love
And the current is strong
But all that remains when you try to explain
Is a fragment of song

[Outro]
Lord is it, Be Bop A Lu La or Ooh Poppa Do
Lord, Be Bop A Lu La or Ooh Poppa Do
Be Bop A Lu La
