Tell me father are you riding on

The fictional bus up to heaven above?

Do you listen to the angels on the outskirts, have they persuaded you?

Oh tell me father, perhaps you have been persuaded before

I just want to know where your body and soul roam tonight

Chorus

 But I know I'll never know until I pass away to the next life

 I know I'll never know where your soul roams tonight

Until I reach the afterlife

Kneeling in this church of stone on this pew reading my prayer book

"We commend to You Lord all the souls who have died"

As you walk in the garden is the grass broken glass on your feet?

I want to believe when I think how I wasted my chance

Chorus

...Until I reach the

 And mother and I pray that it would happen someday

  VAMP (2x)

We would find you where we're going

repeat CHORUS and fade
