[Verse 1]
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, oh
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
So for one last time would you just plant one on my cheek?
And tell me you're alright and everything's a-okay?
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
So for one last time would you just plant one on my cheek
And tell me you're alright and everything's a-ok? (Hey)
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
[Refrain]
So goodbye for the last time, it's my time to go (Time to go)
Gotta bring these idiots and their robes (These idiots and their robes)
They're all late for appointments with the boss above (Boss above)
And he's not one that forgets to judge (No, no, won't judge)
[Bridge]
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, oh
[Chorus]
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 subjects?
Just enough to make you stand in line
