Lyrics

Let me hear you now, Long Beach!
Like falling into a dream, so unlike what you've seen
So unsure, but it seems, 'cause we've been waiting for you
Fallen into this place, just giving you a small taste
Of your afterlife here, so stay, you'll be back here soon anyway
I see a distant light, but girl, this can't be right
Such a surreal place to see, so how did this come to be?
Arrived too early
And when I think of all the places I just don't belong
I've come to grips with life and realize this is going too far
I don't belong here, we gotta move on, dear
Escape from this afterlife
'Cause this time I'm right to move on and on
Far away from here
A place of hope and no pain, perfect skies with no rain
Can leave this place but refrain, 'cause we've been waiting for you
Fallen into this place, just giving you a small taste
Of your afterlife here, so stay, you'll be back here soon anyway
This peace on Earth's not right (with my back against the wall)
No pain or sign of time (I'm much too young to fall)
So out of place, don't wanna stay, I feel wrong and that's my sign
I've made up my mind
Give me your hand, but realize I just wanna say goodbye
Please, understand I have to leave and carry on my own life
I don't belong here, we gotta move on, dear
Escape from this afterlife
'Cause this time I'm right to move on and on
Far away from here
Got nothing against you and surely, I'll miss you
This place full of peace and light
And I'd hoped you might take me back inside
When the time is right!
Loved ones back home, all crying 'cause they're already missing me
I pray by the grace of God that there's somebody listening
Give me a chance to be that person I wanna be (I am unbroken, I'm choking on this ecstasy)
Oh, Lord, I'll try so hard, but you gotta let go of me
(Unbreak me, unchain me, I need another chance to live!)
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
I don't belong here, we gotta move on, dear
Escape from this afterlife
'Cause this time I'm right to move on and on
Far away from here
Got nothing against you and surely, I'll miss you
This place full of peace and light
And I'd hope you might take me back inside
When the time is right, yeah!
Amazing
I like, we got the uh, the "Welcome home" sign over there
That's very nice, thank you very much
Thank you!
We got the uh, "Zacky is the man for me" sign (yeah?)
I sure am, baby!
Zacky is the man for me, wow
And we got video cameras everywhere
Everywhere filming all of you beautiful people for a DVD tonight
All you guys do look good
Y'know what I love about Long Beach?
It's kinda like, well, everything yeah, but that's what I'm getting to
It's kinda like its own city of evil over here, man
Lots of crazy shit happens in Long Beach
In fact, the Rev used to live in Long Beach for a little bit
