lyrics

Well, I wouldn't mind dying, but I don't like to see you crying. I can't stand to see you sad when it really ain't that bad, because, there's a world beyond where our enemies are gone. We're going to a better place, so put on a proper face. I was following the path and I got lost in the woods. I missed my chance to go, wondering if I should. Next time I'll catch that train, far away from pain, to the paradise town, where I'll find my way around.

Well, the light at the end of the tunnel looks so bright, you lose your way. You end up in hell by accident, then decide to stay. I don't mind getting older because it means its almost over. I'm marching off to my death like a good American soldier. I'll visit you in your dreams, I'll visit you in your mind. I'll whisper to your heart, to let you know I'm doing fine, because I love living in your head. Can I stay there all the time? I've decided to be dead is a great way to pass the time.

As a body down below, or ashes in the air. A soul up in the sky, or just a ghost upstairs. No matter where I go - that is where I'll be. No matter where I go - that is where you'll find me.
