I stepped out of my house
for the first time in my life
feelin' pretty good
got on my best suit and tie
I'm riding in a car
I've never been in before
it is black and it's followed
(by a few more)
We start to slow down to
make a quick stop
someone opens up the back
and takes out a box...
Standing around a hole
with flowers and a tree
I look at the headstone
to see that it's me
I'm gonna be late to the show
time to go
***
For the life of me
I can't express how much I want for you to see
But my tounge holds back
I just want you to know
the ending is worth the wait
I know the plot is slow
but this secret must be kept
***
I start to walk away
then a man calls out for me
"Over here my friend,
now it's time to leave," he
pat's me on the back
said the movie will be great
a stroke of genius
that will make you...
...realize that all that you
lived for is right
but one thing he said
there's one simple rule
***
For the life of me
I can't express how much I want for you to see
But my tounge holds back
I just want you to know
the ending is worth the wait
I know the plot is slow
but this secret must be kept
***
slowly the destination comes into view...
the lights are blinding
so I shield my eyes
the closer I get the warmer I feel
the kind of warmth that makes your soul heal...
I pull out my wallet to pay at the door
the man behind the window
(he tells me)
he tells me it's all paid for
he hands me the ticket
and we head inside
the free ticket seemed strange
so I asked the man why...
he told me I'd lived a good life
and my questions will all be answered soon...
so here's some popcorn
your movie's in that room
