They're taking me down, my friend As they usher me off to the end Will I bid you adieu? Will I be seeing you soon? If what they say 'round here is true Then we'll meet again Me and you My time is at hand, my dove They're gonna pass me to that room above Is heaven just for victims, dear? Where only those in pain go? Well, it takes two to tango And we'll meet again, my love I know If you're in heaven then you'll forgive me, dear 'Cause that's what they do up there If you're in hell, what can I say? You probably deserved it anyway I guess I'm gonna find out any day And we'll meet again There'll be hell to pay Your face comes to me from the depths, dear Your silent mouth, mouths, "Yes, dear" Dark red and big with blood They're gonna shot me down, my love They're gonna launch me into the stars While all things come to pass Glory, hallelujah This prayer is for you, my love Send on the wings of a dove An idiot prayer of empty words Love dearest strictly for the birds Which get what we deserve My little snow white dove Rest too short
