Paul Simon - The Afterlife (Live In New York / 2011)

After I died and the make up had dried I went back to my place
No moon that night but a heavenly light shone on my face
Still I thought it was odd there was
no sign of God just to usher me in
Then a voice from above sugar coated
with Love said Let us begin
You got to fill out a form first and then you wait in the line
You got to fill out a form first and then you wait in the line
OK a new kid in school got to follow
the rule you got to learn the routine
Woah there's a girl over there with
the sunshiny hair like a homecomin' queen
I said Hey what you say It's a glorious
day by the way how long you been dead
Maybe you maybe me maybe baby makes
three but she just shook her head
You got to fill out a form first and then you wait in the line
You got to fill out a form first and then you wait in the line
Buddha and Moses and all the noses from narrow to flat
Had to stand in the line just to glimpse
the divine what you think about that
Well it seems like our fate to suffer and
wait for the knowledge we seek
It's all his design no one cuts in the line
no one here likes a sneak
You got to fill out a form first and then you wait in the line
You got to fill out a form first and then you wait in the line
After you climb up the ladder of time the Lord God is near
Face to face in the vastness of space your words disappear
And you feel like swimming in an ocean of love
and the current is strong
But all that remains when you
try to explain is a fragment of song
Lord is it Be Bop A Lu La or Ooh Poppa Do
Lord Be Bop A Lu La or Ooh Poppa Do
Be Bop A Lu La
After I died and the make up had dried I went back to my place
