Don't Know If I'll Ever Be The Same

Looked up in the sky
At the stars all around,
Seemed like everybody was goin’ out of town,
Picked up my sax
Blew a few cool tunes,
All of these shooting stars
Are bustin’ my balloons,
I’m tryin’ to get back
To the place from where I came,
But right now I don’t know
If I’ll ever be the same.

The people are comin’ for me
Sure as I’m sittin’ here,
I only got time for one or two more beers,
Got to get things in order
See what I need to save,
Everybody’s tryin’
To measure me for a new grave,
I’m already six feet under
I’m well protected from the rain,
It’ll be a while before I know
If I’ll ever be the same.

The ship is visible in the sky
Gettin’ ready to land,
All that I possess I have right here in my left hand,
The manna’s startin’ to fall,
It’s a beautiful sight,
Fallin’ down on me
From that green shaft of light,
Gonna lift me up to Heaven,
There’ll be no more sorrow or pain,
I can tell you now for sure,
That I’ll never be the same.
