after i died , and the make up had dried , i went back to my place .
no moon that night , but a heavenly light shone on my face .
still i thought it was odd , there was no sign of god just to usher me in .
then a voice from above , sugar coated with love , said , “let us begin” .
you got to fill out a form first , and then you wait in the line .
you got to fill out a form first , and then you wait in the line .
ok , a new kid in school , got to follow the rule , you got to learn the routine .
woah , there’s a girl over there , with the sunshiny hair , like a homecomin’ queen .
i said , “hey , what you say? it’s a glorious day , by the way how long you been dead?”
maybe you , maybe me , maybe baby makes three , but she just shook her head . . .
you got to fill out a form first , and then you wait in the line .
you got to fill out a form first , and then you wait in the line .
buddha and moses and all the noses from narrow to flat ,
had to stand in the line , just to glimpse the divine , what you think about that?
well it seems like our fate to suffer and wait for the knowledge we seek .
it’s all his design , no one cuts in the line , no one here likes a sneak
you got to fill out a form first , and then you wait in the line .
you got to fill out a form first , and then you wait in the line .
after you climb , up the laddEr of time , the lord god is near .
face to face , in the vastness of space , your words disappear .
and you feel like swimming in an ocean of love , and the current is strong .
but all that remains when you try to explain is a fragment of song . . .
lord is it , be bop a lu la or ooh poppa do
lord , be bop a lu la or ooh poppa do
be bop a lu la
