Lyrics
Let me hear you now old kids!
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
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 back of 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
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)
There's 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 (this ecstasy)
Oh, Lord, I'll try so hard, but you gotta let go of me (another chance to live!)
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, 'Zachy is the man for me' sign (yeah?)
I sure am baby ('Zachy is the man for me' wow)
And we got videocameras everywhere
Filming all of you beautiful people for a DVD tonight
And you guys do look good
Know what I love about Longbeach? It's kinda like-
Well everything, yeah, but that's, that's what I'm gettin' to
It's kinda like it's own little city of evil over here man
Lots of crazy shit happens on Longbeach
In fact the Rev used to live on Longbeach for a little bit
