The Line
Those pearly gates don't seem so great
I can wait for you
There's so much to be judged
If you only knew
There's a line as long as time
The right hand side of paradise
I should probably smile
But all I want is you
Down the street once a week
I will go to you
Fight the crowds as they scream so loud
Just to get a view, oh
'Cause there's a line as long as time
The right hand side of where you reside
I should probably hide
But all I want is you
Oh, I could climb the wall
Oh, but it's much too tall
'Cause on my judgment day
They're gonna hear me say
The devil's in my way
You were raised to act your age
And always tell the truth
So meet me there at the top of stairs
When your time is through, oh
If I'm not there, don't be scared
Be prepared, it's only fair
If they never call my name
I'll burn in the flames for you
Oh, I could climb the wall
Oh, but it's much too tall
'Cause on my judgment day
They're gonna hear me say, hear me say
Oh, I could climb the wall
Oh, but it's much too tall
'Cause on my judgment day
They're gonna hear me say, oh
If I'm not there, don't be scared
Be prepared, it's only fair
If they never call my name
I'll burn in the flame
I can wait for you
There's so much to be judged
If you only knew
There's a line as long as time
The right hand side of paradise
I should probably smile
But all I want is you
Down the street once a week
I will go to you
Fight the crowds as they scream so loud
Just to get a view, oh
'Cause there's a line as long as time
The right hand side of where you reside
I should probably hide
But all I want is you
Oh, I could climb the wall
Oh, but it's much too tall
'Cause on my judgment day
They're gonna hear me say
The devil's in my way
You were raised to act your age
And always tell the truth
So meet me there at the top of stairs
When your time is through, oh
If I'm not there, don't be scared
Be prepared, it's only fair
If they never call my name
I'll burn in the flames for you
Oh, I could climb the wall
Oh, but it's much too tall
'Cause on my judgment day
They're gonna hear me say, hear me say
Oh, I could climb the wall
Oh, but it's much too tall
'Cause on my judgment day
They're gonna hear me say, oh
If I'm not there, don't be scared
Be prepared, it's only fair
If they never call my name
I'll burn in the flame
