austin lounge lizards - last words lyrics
the curtain of darkness is fallin’
and my friends are all here at my side.
are those the sweet voices of angels
as i rise on that heavenly tide?
all hearts overflowin’ with sadness
and those words left so often unsaid
then i could hear a voice whispering softly,
“could i have all your stuff when your dead?”
“could i have your tv and your pickup?
and i’ve always admired your shoes.
could i have that old dining room table?
and there’s a couple of chairs i could use.”
“well, you know that you’re headed to glory,
and like a star, up to heaven you’ll shoot
when they write the last page of your story,
could i try on that seersucker suit?”
it was the voice of my dear brother thomas.
he was kneelin’ down close by my side.
his breath had just come from a funeral
for a mouth full of teeth that had died.
well, i prayed my last prayer for salvation.
i was feelin’ the touch of god’s hand.
but i could still hear the voice of my brother
as they struck up that old angel band.
“could i have your old ski boots and surf board?
and maybe that four-poster bed?
would you mind if i took a few records?
just nirvana, the stones, and the dead.”
well, you know that you can’t take it with you
to your heavenly home up on high.
when you p-ss through those gates, and they had you your wings,
could i have all your stuff when you die?
but the angels consulted st. peter
and flew me back to my hospital bed.
my life was a new day a-dawning,
and the angels took tommy instead.
