After I died and the makeup had dried

I went back to my place
No moon that night, but a heavenly light
Shown on my face

Still I thought it was odd there was no sign of God
Just to usher me in
Then a voice from above sugarcoated with love

Said, "Let us begin"

You got to fill out a form first

And then you wait in the line
You got to fill out a form first
And then you wait in the line


Okay, new kid in school
Got to follow the rule

You got to learn the routine
Whoa! There's a girl over there
With the sunshiny hair like a homecoming queen

I said "Hey, what'cha say, it's a glorious day
By the way, how long you been dead?"
Maybe you, maybe me, maybe baby makes three

But she just shook her head
You got to fill out a form first
And then you wait in the line

You got to fill out a form first
And then you wait in the line


Buddha and Moses and all the noses
From narrow to flat
Had to stand in the line

Just to glimpse the divine
What'cha think about that?
Well, it seems like our fate

To suffer and wait for the knowledge we seek
It's all His design
No one cuts in the line

No one here likes a sneak

You got to fill out a form first

And then you wait in the line
You got to fill out a form first
And then you wait in the line


After you climb up the ladder of time
The Lord God is near

Face-to-face in the vastness of space
Your words disappear
And you feel like you're swimming in an ocean of love

And the current is strong
But all that remains when you try to explain
Is a fragment of song

Lord, is it Be Bop a Lula? Or ooh Papa Doo?
Lord, Be Bop a Lula? Or ooh Papa Doo?
Be Bop a Lula
