Last to Leave - ld57

Verse 1: 
Won’t be long, 
Long enough for one regret. 
One last song, 
Then we’ll settle up our bets. 
Did you know 
Heaven’s got a waiting list? 
Even so 
I don’t think that we’ll be missed. 
Come along, 
Or you’ll be the last to leave. 

I think you’d better come with me 
Or you’ll be the last to leave. 

Verse 2: 
Happiness, 
The greatest work of fiction. 
Who’d have guessed? 
I had my suspicions. 
Still we play, 
Gamble on salvation. 
That’s no way 
To run an operation. 

I think you’d better come with me 
Or you’ll be the last to leave. 
I think you’d better come with me 
Even if you don’t believe. 
I think you’d better come with me 
Or you’ll be the last to leave. 

Verse 3: 
Cosmic plans, 
How do they expect you to 
Understand? 
So much they’re not telling you. 
We’re so small 
In the greater scheme of things. 
And we all 
Wonder what the whole thing means. 
Come along, 
Or you’ll be the last to leave. 

I think you’d better come with me 
Or you’ll be the last to leave. 

Verse 4: 
They say love 
Is the only thing you need. 
Lift you up 
With its perfect snow white wings. 
I don’t know 
Anyone who left the ground. 
Guess it shows 
Not enough to go around. 

I think you’d better come with me 
Or you’ll be the last to leave. 
I think you’d better come with me 
Even if you don’t believe. 
I think you’d better come with me 
Or you’ll be the last to leave. 

Verse 5: 
Did you know 
There’s a special place in Hell 
Where we go? 
Anyway, it’s just as well. 
Won’t be long, 
Even if you don’t believe. 
Come along, 
Or you’ll be the last to leave.
