I'll meet you on the stairs Meet you just below the steeple You can bring all off the people Whom you think to change Took the elevator down And thought your flesh is unaffected You tell me just how scared you are To watch the others burn The others burn
And if the alter came to us I don't believe our eyes would shutter Tongues knotted as we stutter If it was written in that book All the answers to the questions Maybe we'd find the time to read it before we die Someday before we die
I'll start to worry when I'm dead I'll start to worry when I'm dead
Cause we might as well be blind If seeing is believing This parable's misleading You've got your shotgun loaded with excuses That you'll fire in vain But those twelve rounds just won't do There's barely time for pity And all the girls are all just too pretty I'll start to worry when I'm dead I'll start to worry when I'm dead I'll start to worry when I'm dead
We know all there is to know A carpenter and a magician Bread and wine And sins from which we must abstain That's what the stories always say They said that sins shall be forgiven So count your blessings and wait Andd take this name in vain We've got this all wrong We must have made a mistake If there were holes in our hands I don't believe I don't believe that anything would change
I'll start to worry when I'm dead I'll start to worry when I'm dead
Cause we might as well be blind If seeing is believing This parable's misleading You've got your shotgun loaded with excuses That you'll fire in vain But those twelve rounds just won't do There's barely time for pity And all the girls are all just too pretty I'll start to worry when I'm dead I'll start to worry when I'm dead I'll start to worry when I'm dead
I never coveted nor killed And I was taught to say amen I've read of bloody hands and corruptables I'm just hoping for the best I can't believe that you could say That the answers unlock this gate Cause if you knew his name Not a thing would change You'd still be wishing you were blessed
I'll start to worry when I'm dead (x4)
Cause we might as well be blind If seeing is believing This parable's misleading You've got your shotgun loaded with excuses That you'll fire in vain But those twelve rounds just won't do There's barely time for pity And all the girls are all just too pretty I'll start to worry when I'm dead I'll start to worry when I'm dead I'll start to worry when I'm dead I'll start to worry when I'm dead I'll start to worry when I'm dead I'll start to worry when I'm dead
