Pearly Gates

Feel the sun upon your back
Someone somewhere wants to steal it
Pray each night you'll catch the thief
But while you sleep he comes and takes itDoes that make you think little girl?
Doesn't it just little boyThere'll be no stampede on the Pearly Gates
I'll say, "After you", you'll say, "I don't mind the wait"
There'll be no stampede on those imposing doors
Naked and afraid, cowering we crawl on all foursSee the smile on her young face
Watch life casually erase it
Now I know she's all grown up
She wears a look I can't quite place yetWhat makes you cry little girl?
Maybe I'm scared little boyThere'll be no stampede on the Pearly Gates
I'll say, "After you", you'll say, "I don't mind the wait"
There'll be no stampede on those imposing doors
Naked and afraid, cowering we crawl on all foursThere'll be no stampede on the Pearly Gates
I'll say, "After you", you'll say, "I don't mind the wait"
