lyrics

Where do we go when we die?
First, to a long and well-lit hall
with unlocked cabinets full of all our long
lost things, big and small:

Rings, keys, gloves and glasses,
trains of thought, touch, the massive
list goes on and on and on.

On and on and
on and on and on and on and on.

Next, a long procession
of all the people you never got to meet,
because you were scared to say hi, or ask their name twice,
or you just sat in the wrong seat:

Allies, wives, rivals, lovers,
friends, bosses, and blood brothers,
the list goes on and on and on.

On and on and
on and on and on and on and on.

And last there’s a door for everything
you ever said no to or didn’t try.
Behind it you can go and see what would have happened,
good or bad, what it would have been like:

Eyes, rides, parties and prayer,
a job, a drink, a drug, despair,
the list goes on and on and on.

On and on and
on and on and on and on and on.

Where do we go when we die?
Nowhere possibly;
so try to get it right the first time.
That’s my philosophy.
