Eyedea Step By Step Lyrics

Step By Step Lyrics

[Eyedea]



I got a little story to tell



See it was September 1st, 1999, the day of my death



My back was on the cold concrete as I take my last breath



Saw my body laying on the ground as my soul hovered above me



Damn Eyedea you was a good lookin' cat



But anyway another day at 18 years of age



Step in heaven's gate anxious to see what God got to say



Maybe he'll give me a gift for always saying my prayers



But he might send me downstairs for last year's love affair



Well who cares



You know right now it's all a mystery



I mean I'll find out when I get there



Until then I can't let it get to me



I'm keepin' my cool



Besides everybody dies



I'll just follow the white light like the do in the movies







It seems like I was went by and I'm still travelin



Right towards the brightness 



Now this ain't heaven of hell



This realm is lifeless



And I hate to say it 



But this wild goose chase had me bored



No directions, no clues, no idea what I was in for



But forward I kept floating 



And then a quick flash the lights split directly in half



And created a forked path



Representing each side is an angel



Now whats the task I have to untangle to meet the big man in charge I ask



And one on the right of me says one of us always lies and one that always tells
the truth



Ask the right one the right question he'll direct you to heaven 



If ask the wrong one son, farwell you going straight to well....



Y'all get the picture







The one on my left told me not to listen to his fibs



He said it ain't that complicated to find out where god lives



He told me to follow his path 



and tell god that he said hi



Then the one on my right jumped in and told me not to believe his lies



and I'm like Jesus Fucking Christ



I didn't care much for life 



But I've tried to stay alive forever if I knew this is what death was like



I was never good at problem solving especially in emergencies



I get a tad bit nervous when concerned with burning for eternity



but anyway I asked them which one lied and they pointed at each other



Thinking I'd had it I asked the name of my mother



One said he don't know the other said he know but he can't tell me



God damn this is going to be hard







So I asked 30 questions and I still wasn't sure



but being me I gave those pricks a few good words



Frustrated with it all 



I turned my back to the angels and when I walked away to my surprise 



I found myself in heaven







(Ya know I'm saying 



Kinda just turned around from the whole situation



Rejecting everything that was going on



Thats how I walked into heaven)







I Walked away, walked away, walked straight into heaven...



I Walked away, walked away, walked straight into heaven...
