Lyrics

Videotape (Live From The Basement)

[Verse 1] When I'm at the pearly gates This'll be on my videotape, my videotape When Mephistopheles is just beneath And he's reaching up to grab me This is one for the good days And I have it all here in red, blue, green, in red, blue, green You are my center when I spin away Out of control on videotape On videotape, on videotape, on videotape On videotape, on videotape, on videotape [Verse 2] This is my way of saying goodbye Because I can't do it face to face So I'm talking to you before- No matter what happens now I shouldn't be afraid Because I know today has been The most perfect day I've ever seen Thank you!
