[00:02.00] Paul Simon - The Afterlife
[00:05.00]
[00:29.34] After I died, and the make up had dried, I went back to my place.
[00:35.41] No moon that night, but a heavenly light shone on my face.
[00:40.91] Still I thought it was odd, there was no sign of God just to usher me in.
[00:46.39] Then a voice from above, sugar coated with love, said "Let us begin".
[02:23.44][02:17.68][01:31.97][01:26.41][00:57.90][00:51.98] You got to fill out a form first, and then you wait in the line.
[01:03.52] OK, a new kid in school, got to follow the rule, you got to learn the routine.
[01:09.19] Woah, there's a girl over there, with the sunshiny hair, like a homecomin' queen.
[01:14.88] I said, "Hey, what you say? It's a glorious day, by the way how long you been dead?"
[01:20.84] Maybe you, maybe me, maybe baby makes three, but she just shook her head...
[01:55.08] Buddha and Moses and all the noses from narrow to flat,
[02:00.78] Had to stand in the line, just to glimpse the divine, what you think about that?
[02:06.31] Well it seems like our fate to suffer and wait for the knowledge we seek.
[02:12.09] It's all His design, no one cuts in the line, no one here likes a sneak
[02:46.34] After you climb, up the ladder of time, the Lord God is here.
[02:52.28] Face to face, in the vastness of space, your words disappear.
[02:58.05] And you feel like swimming in an ocean of love, and the current is strong.
[03:03.43] But all that remains when you try to explain is a fragment of song...
[03:09.26] Lord is it, Be-Bop-A-Lula or Ooh-Poppa-Do
[03:14.93] Lord, Be-Bop-A-Lula or Ooh-Poppa-Do
[03:20.64] Be-Bop-A-Lula
[00:00.009]
[99:00.000]
