Welcome, welcome Recently deceased Ve you democrat, Republican Chorus girl or priest Though you closed up shop And you're recently departed We're afraid the final test Has only just started
But don't come to us With your worries And complaints
Save it for the doorman Who's a saint Among saints
He knows your future 'cause he's seen your past Which is why He might be telling you
Huh, not so fast. Wohoo! When you're... Knock, knock, knocking Up on heaven's gate Don't you trip up Or you'll slip On a holy twist of fate As i said last night To st. vinny depaul The higher you get, the farther the fall Now, you think That you're on top How you love to wear The crown But don't you know That up means There's no place to go But down? And it's already written On the big man's wall The higher you get The farther the fall Well, the last rites You've been given And you wanna cut in line But look out, brother, I might pull a switch Cause the things you did while livin' Well, they weren't All divine And don't you know That karma is a... Well, you'll understand if i don't finish that last sentence.
Thank god!
And the judgment day Is near You'll say "point me Toward the exit, armagettin' out of here!" 'cause when you slide down Well, you can't Come back, y'all 'cause the you get, Oh! The farther the fall Was your life A bed of roses Well, get ready For some thorns Delivered by 'ol beelzebub Mit pointy tail and horns Like the song that my heart Sang to my cholesterol The higher you get, ow! The farther the fall Now i'm kickin' butt And takin' names
Higher and higher
'cause even st. joan Went down in flames
Higher and higher
Some hot stuff! Napoleon waterlooed and Genghis khan sure hit a slump I might say "you're fired" When you have expired, Donald trump! Vips don't wanna hear it That they might not Get inside But camels through a needle? Here's the key And to all those Poor in spirit Well the doors Are open wide Go right on in And have a drink on me
