LYRICS
One waits
At the pearly gates
The weight
The baggage of age
I can’t bear the wait
I can’t bear the weight
A voice is heard:
“You want the word?”
Can’t wait
Open up the gate
The age —
All the world’s a stage
Open up the gate
I can’t bear the wait
I can’t bear the weight
A voice is heard:
“You want the word?
You wan to know…
… if the answer is no?”
No, I don’t want to know
Prefer to procrastinate
And wait with all my weight
