Can I Borrow Your Soul Just For the Day

Can I borrow your soul just for the day

I need it to get into heaven and hopefully stay

Yours is clean while mine is a little dirty

Be a good friend and lend it to me

I promise to return it in a little while

Yours is unique and exciting where mine is boring with no style

My spirit is dark and closed and yours is bright and free

With so many people in line at the gates they just might overlook me

Yours is the real thing mine is just a pretender

Can I borrow your soul and Ill stamp it return to sender

So can I count on you what do you say

Can I borrow your soul just for the day
