They re taking me downmy friend
And as they usher me off to my end
Will I bid you adieu?
Or will I be seeing you soon?
If what they say around here is true
Then we ll meet again
Me and you

My time is at handmy dove
They re gonna pass me to that house above
Is Heaven just for victimsdear?
Where only those in pain go?
Well it takes two to tango
We will meet againmy love
I know

If you re in Heaven then you ll forgive medear
Because that s what they do up there
If you re in Hellthen what can I say
You probably deserved it anyway
I guess I m gonna find out any day
For we ll meet again
And there ll be Hell to pay

Your face comes to me from the depthsdear
Your silent mouth mouths Yes"dear
Dark red and big with blood
They re gonna shut me downmy love
They re gonna launch me into the stars
Wellall things come to pass
Glory hallelujah

This prayer is for youmy love
Sent on the wings of a dove
An idiot prayer of empty words
Lovedearis strictly for the birds
We each get what we deserve
My little snow white dove
Rest assured
