Back to the Tower

You forgot to say bye when you said it was time to go - Didn't think I'd be back so soon did you? / Where's the love that you spoke of? Where's the 'welcome home'? / I don't get it, but the other side misses you

One by one you'll end up just like the rest of us / In a line, waiting quietly for your turn / Resurrection's just a ploy to raise a fuss when everyone just ends up in the earth

So for one last time would you just plant one on my cheek and tell me you're alright and everything's a-ok?

You're going back to the old white tower where you'll wait for a higher power to tell you where you'll end up just like us

Hello love, how are you? I came for one last long look at you / We only just met, but it seems like it's been a lifetime since you came through the haze of waking up at the bottom of a barrel shaped just like a staircase, so I hope that you don't hate that I appreciate just looking at your face

So for one last time would you just plant one on my cheek, and tell me you're alright and everything's a-ok? / And It won't be long my darling girl before we meet up once again, because the bomb's only a minute or two away

So goodbye for the last time, it's my time to go - Gotta bring these idiots and their robes / They're all late for appointments with the boss above and he's not one that forgets to judge

I'll see you up in the old white tower waiting with a bouquet of flowers in my hands, smiling down from the back of the line / St. Peter's got your name on his tablet - I'll introduce you, and admit my habit disappeared when I met you, now I'm fine

You're going back to the old white tower where you'll wait for a higher power to tell you where you'll end up just like us / Sweating bullets waiting for your judgment - Did you pass? Did you fail? The subject's just enough to make you stand in line
