INTRO VERSE My pulse says 23 beats an hour - that can’t be right Maybe that’s why I’m falling asleep here at the traffic light I can’t hear a word you say but I can see you from the corner of my eye One hand out the window, Lord, and my brain’s up in the sky VERSE When I awake my hands vibrate just like a banjo string Radio station coming in I can hear the choir sing Some kind of song that sounds just like "When the Levee Breaks" Bassoons and timpanis join in what a ruckus those things make Lock the doors and hang on, I think I hear the undertaker’s song Lock the doors and hang on, We’re going to reach the gates before too long VERSE When I arose I was exposed to the fabled bright lights All the harp players’ robes were pressed and clean and white Plucking out a tune that I know now was "In My Time of Dying" When they issued me my wings I set straight out flying Lock the doors and hang on, I think I hear the undertaker’s song Lock the doors and hang on, We’re going to reach the gates before too long SOLO: Em x4 BRIDGE If my halo should ever lose its shine Help me to find a new one somewhere If my wings should fail me my Lord Please won’t you meet me with another pair? Lock the doors and hang on, I think I hear the undertaker’s song Lock the doors and hang on, We’re going to reach the gates before too long I think I hear the undertaker’s song Yeah, I think I hear the undertaker’s song
