Life Is a Dizzying Blur

No sooner do we get slapped on our bum When it's time to pass through the gates You know the ones, those real famous portals Tell everybody you're gonna be late Tell 'em please don't wait up, my friends Got important business to tend to Taking a very long trip and can't be reached Unless we go together, me and you A glorious trip above with all expenses paid Stopping at times along the way To look at the glorious blue green spectacle Admiring the lush land we survey We'll be more grateful seeing it from afar Realize life was a pretty good deal It's way ahead of whatever comes second Though at times it's a bit surreal Would have been nice to go around twice Let me take a second to reconsider When all's said and done, 'twas damn fabulous Though we had to cross raging rivers But as life goes flying by in a dizzying blur Singing happy songs as we sail Reaching the end of our amazing journey We'll stay in touch by celestial email
