Dead I’d been shot through the heart When they found me at a quarter to seven A report filed at mortuary eleven Claimed I died from the bullet of a .357 Flashing thunder light couldn’t save me Nor could any fancy quick incision At the hands of a pioneering surgeon The chips are down the wheel has turned Full circle now this is the end for me Going down going down I know I’ve been a sinner and a non believer So the chance of going to heaven will be pretty slim Yeah, yeah now that I’m dead I should have been asleep yeah should have been a dreamer Spending all my time in deep slumber Yeah in my bed I reached my destination but no gates of pearly white As I suspected no comforting bright light Only nothingness set in an eerie twilight Just then a strange looking man came up to meet me In his hands a register and a key I said I got no money mister if there’s an entrance fee He said I want your soul its pay back time For that hell bent life you spent on crime to me Going down, going down I know I’ve been a sinner and a non believer So the chance of going to heaven will be pretty slim Yeah, yeah now that I’m dead I should have been asleep yeah should have been a dreamer Spending all my time in deep slumber Yeah in my bed Dewi Hughes 05-09-97 |
