[Eyedea]

I got a little story to tell

See it was September 1st, 1999, the day of my death

My back was on the cold concrete as I take my last breath

Saw my body laying on the ground as my soul hovered above me

Damn Eyedea you was a good lookin' cat

But anyway another day at 18 years of age

Step in heaven's gate anxious to see what God got to say

Maybe he'll give me a gift for always saying my prayers

But he might send me downstairs for last year's love affair

Well who cares

You know right now it's all a mystery

I mean I'll find out when I get there

Until then I can't let it get to me

I'm keepin' my cool

Besides everybody dies

I'll just follow the white light like the do in the movies

It seems like I was went by and I'm still travelin

Right towards the brightness

Now this ain't heaven of hell

This realm is lifeless

And I hate to say it

But this wild goose chase had me bored

No directions, no clues, no idea what I was in for

But forward I kept floating

And then a quick flash the lights split directly in half

And created a forked path

Representing each side is an angel

Now whats the task I have to untangle to meet the big man in charge I ask

And one on the right of me says one of us always lies and one that always tells the truth

Ask the right one the right question he'll direct you to heaven

If ask the wrong one son, farwell you going straight to well....

Y'all get the picture

The one on my left told me not to listen to his fibs

He said it ain't that complicated to find out where god lives

He told me to follow his path

and tell god that he said hi

Then the one on my right jumped in and told me not to believe his lies

and I'm like Jesus Fucking Christ

I didn't care much for life

But I've tried to stay alive forever if I knew this is what death was like

I was never good at problem solving especially in emergencies

I get a tad bit nervous when concerned with burning for eternity

but anyway I asked them which one lied and they pointed at each other

Thinking I'd had it I asked the name of my mother

One said he don't know the other said he know but he can't tell me

God damn this is going to be hard

So I asked 30 questions and I still wasn't sure

but being me I gave those pricks a few good words

Frustrated with it all

I turned my back to the angels and when I walked away to my surprise

I found myself in heaven

(Ya know I'm saying

Kinda just turned around from the whole situation

Rejecting everything that was going on

Thats how I walked into heaven)

I Walked away, walked away, walked straight into heaven...

I Walked away, walked away, walked straight into heaven...
