Everyone Says 'Hi' Lyrics

Obviously about death, and a very poignant song, juxtaposed nicely to a light tune. Surprised no one commented on the very funny line-"hope the weather's not too hot". Hope you aren't in hell!

When I said previously, "Where they don't care how you are" (in the French tv version) my wife typed this incorrectly.

This line is in all versions not just the French tv version.

The rest of the post was correct.

I may give further information on this.

that is how i understand it too, and you will meet your mom and dad and your big fat dog, and "the man Upstairs" (GOD) when you die.

it could maybe also just be moving away from something.
