And When You Get To Heaven, Don'T Wait Up
Just one more day to be saint
One more high and a new complaint
One more day to know my life is over
One more day to relive to this moment
Just one more hour while my mind is absent
One more day to redefine sober
She sings to me it’s my decision
Altar to my vision
Breathe and sigh over you
Breathe and say
From dust to blood
No one wants to live forever
From blood to dust
Eternity is now or never
Just a day to refine my nervous
Wondering how they’ll forgive my lovers
One more day to die and then it’s over
Another year and I’ll be a servant
Singing hymns and hating others
Woke up and I won’t lie sober
She’s seen through my kind
And I know a later time
We could see another you
Still I sing
From dust to blood
No one wants to live forever
From blood to dust
Eternity is now or never
Just today I began to suffer
Wondering why I ever bothered
Sleeping with the guilt, I know it’s over
One more year and I’d be a saint
Procrastinated son to pain
Hang around till the hangover is sober
He saw through me and mine
I’ve never known a better time
That’s that to you and you
Leave the soul
From dust to blood
No one wants to live forever
From blood to dust
Eternity is now or never
