The Afterlife-Paul Simon

[00:00.00] 作词 : Paul Simon [00:01.00] 作曲 : Paul Simon [00:30.04]After I died and the makeup had dried [00:32.31]I went back to my place [00:35.60]No moon that night, but a heavenly light [00:37.91]Shown on my face [00:40.98]Still I thought it was odd there was no sign of God [00:43.97]Just to usher me in [00:46.71]Then a voice from above sugarcoated with love [00:49.43]Said, "Let us begin" [00:52.34]You got to fill out a form first [00:55.15]And then you wait in the line [00:57.98]You got to fill out a form first [01:00.91]And then you wait in the line [01:03.84]Okay, new kid in school [01:05.11]Got to follow the rule [01:06.44]You got to learn the routine [01:09.26]Whoa! There's a girl over there [01:10.77]With the sunshiny hair like a homecoming queen [01:14.93]I said "Hey, what'cha say, it's a glorious day [01:17.81]By the way, how long you been dead?" [01:20.80]Maybe you, maybe me, maybe baby makes three [01:23.83]But she just shook her head [01:26.46]You got to fill out a form first [01:29.31]And then you wait in the line [01:32.11]You got to fill out a form first [01:35.14]And then you wait in the line [01:39.17] [01:55.60]Buddha and Moses and all the noses [01:58.04]From narrow to flat [02:01.00]Had to stand in the line [02:02.23]Just to glimpse the divine [02:03.66]What'cha think about that? [02:06.52]Well, it seems like our fate [02:08.17]To suffer and wait for the knowledge we seek [02:12.69]It's all His design [02:13.76]No one cuts in the line [02:15.02]No one here likes a sneak [02:17.99]You got to fill out a form first [02:20.83]And then you wait in the line [02:23.53]You got to fill out a form first [02:26.41]And then you wait in the line [02:30.04] [02:47.21]After you climb up the ladder of time [02:49.18]The Lord God is near [02:52.79]Face-to-face in the vastness of space [02:55.23]Your words disappear [02:58.12]And you feel like you're swimming in an ocean of love [03:00.25]And the current is strong [03:04.10]But all that remains when you try to explain [03:06.68]Is a fragment of song [03:09.18]Lord, is it Be Bop a Lula? Or ooh Papa Doo? [03:15.17]Lord, Be Bop a Lula? Or ooh Papa Doo? [03:21.02]Be Bop a Lula [03:23.98]
