«You're headed for heaven, the sweet old hereafter
and I've got one foot in the door
but before I can fly up, I've loose ends to tie up.
Right here, in the old therebefore.
and I'll be along when I've finished my song.
When I've shut down the band
When I've paid all my debts
When I have no regrets.
Right here, in the old therebefore
When nothing is left anymore
and I'll catch you up.
When I've emptied my cup
When I've worn-out my friends
When I've burned out both ends
When I've cried all my tears
When I've conquered my fears.
Right here, in the old therebefore
When nothing is left anymore
and I'll bring the news.
When I've danced off my shoes
When my body's closed down
When my boat's run aground
When I've tallied the score
and I'm flat on the floor.
Right here, in the old therebefore
When nothing is left anymore.
When I'm pure like a dove
When I've learned how to love.
Right here, in the old therebefore
When nothing is left anymore... »
