lyrics
You scream and turn blue when you tell me to do
not as you do but as you say
but that isn't right you see
black and white when all of your life’s engulfed in grey
you can keep your dirty looks half-hearted recitations
from a moldy book collecting dust upon a shelf
saving your love for nobody but yourself a crowd
had gathered some million odd people in a race to climb
a burning steeple
each one hoping to graze a blind man’s toes
but when the leaders fall the sheep will follow
I had a dream that you were right and
one day you bought the farm the pearly gates were lacking luster
but still had their charm st. peter scanned the list said you done less good than harm
i hope you packed some shorts
‘cause son you’re going somewhere warm
you tell yourself i’ll be okay
if you just sit back and pray for some god to pull me through
so that you don’t have to
but if you truly were so wise you’d know you’re only speaking lies
‘cause everyone who tries to get to heaven dies
not as you do but as you say
but that isn't right you see
black and white when all of your life’s engulfed in grey
you can keep your dirty looks half-hearted recitations
from a moldy book collecting dust upon a shelf
saving your love for nobody but yourself a crowd
had gathered some million odd people in a race to climb
a burning steeple
each one hoping to graze a blind man’s toes
but when the leaders fall the sheep will follow
I had a dream that you were right and
one day you bought the farm the pearly gates were lacking luster
but still had their charm st. peter scanned the list said you done less good than harm
i hope you packed some shorts
‘cause son you’re going somewhere warm
you tell yourself i’ll be okay
if you just sit back and pray for some god to pull me through
so that you don’t have to
but if you truly were so wise you’d know you’re only speaking lies
‘cause everyone who tries to get to heaven dies
