i got a letter that said "at heaven's gate
ya better come dead and don't be late"
baby, i'm fed up with waiting
made my reservation
i've arrived alive despite the slightest misses, highest dives
oh gee, lucky me.
safety, blessed be
hurricane whatshername
hear her thunder, pulled me under
dozen pseudo seconds passed
heaven hit me, signing my cast
then she spit me back
i had a late phone call from a friend in hell
said, "i forgot the alcohol but i brought my cell
it's hotter than the city in the summertime
worse than the curse of the kitchen line
i survived the grime so many times it seemed i'd come out clean
high noons, cotton spoons
oh well, see ya soon."
