When I get to Heaven, is God gonna cry?
Or will he smile and nod while watchin' the time?
Yeah, when I get inducted will my welcome note say you had a good run son, I liked that one song, hey
Did he sit up all night wonderin' how to say that he's kind of a big fan from the Chamomile days?
My favourite part was when you wished you would die
And up here man, oh, there wasn't a dry eye
Silly old thing, that green and blue marble
Floatin' in darkness, how cool are the stars, though?
Didn't give it much thought, but maybe it's unfair
That there's heaps of cancer, death and despair
I asked politely, 'but wasn't that the Devil?'
He pauses for a second, and says he's gonna level
It was all middle-management pressure from above
Some universal interest about some real estate stuff
It's over my head, don't take it to heart
Just view this as kinda like a nice fresh start
Where you sit in eternity, with no good or evil
And an endless cosmos in the eye of a needle
I said 'hey God, he said 'who, me?'
Well you must have me confused, I'm just a corporate slogan
See, if you need a reason, good or bad, you can rely on me for your facts
I said 'so wait, then what's the point?
He said 'you're lookin' for God, I'm sorry but this ain't the joint
You just came from Earth, you're tellin' me
And you didn't feel a thing? You had the holy keys
Seriously now, you fell in love and that's God right there
What else could you want son?
You're tellin' me that I saw God? no Heaven or Hell?
Well, that kinda sucks
So, I was kinda hopin' for a trial by fire
Or some beautiful paradise styled
Inspired by everythin' I liked, and things that felt right
He said that's not quite how it works
You know, the budgets are tight
So, what now? he said well, 'I'll leave you to it'
You got some thinkin' and you got a lotta time to do it
Bet you kinda wish now you know the drill
You saw Heaven every second that the world stood still
I said it would've been nice to know that, that was all I had
And there was nowhere to go
I would've used all my time to be a little more loving in my life
I would've called my enemies up, said sorry that I messed up
I would've held it all so tight
I wouldn't've done things outta spite
Oh, isn't it weird, you believe or you don't?
But, either way, you should probably make the most of it
'Cause the core of it is right here, right now
And I hope you notice it
