Back to the Tower

[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
