Back to the Tower
Direct Hit!

You forgot to say bye when you said it was time to go -

Didn't think I'd be back so soon did you?

Where's the love that you spoke of? Where's the 'welcome home'?

I don't get it, but the other side misses you


One by one you'll end up just like the rest of us

In a line, waiting quietly for your turn

Resurrection's just a ploy to raise a fuss

when everyone just ends up in the earth


So for one last time would you just plant one on my cheek

and tell me you're alright and everything's a-ok?


You're going back to the old white tower

where you'll wait for a higher power

to tell you where you'll end up just like us


Hello love, how are you? I came for one last long look at you

We only just met, but it seems like it's been a lifetime since you came through

the haze of waking up at the bottom of a barrel shaped just like a staircase,

so I hope that you don't hate that I appreciate just looking at your face


So for one last time would you just plant one on my cheek,

and tell me you're alright and everything's a-ok?


And It won't be long my darling girl before we meet up once again,

because the bomb's only a minute or two away


So goodbye for the last time, it's my time to go -

Gotta bring these idiots and their robes

They're all late for appointments with the boss above

and he's not one that forgets to judge


I'll see you up in the old white tower

waiting with a bouquet of flowers

in my hands, smiling down from the back of the line

St. Peter's got your name on his tablet -

I'll introduce you, and admit my habit

disappeared when I met you, now I'm fine


You're going back to the old white tower

where you'll wait for a higher power

to tell you where you'll end up just like us

Sweating bullets waiting for your judgment -

Did you pass? Did you fail? The subject's

just enough to make you stand in line
