Heaven's Waiting Room

Thought For Food
they say we're in heaven's waiting room
i never really liked waiting
forms to be filled out as pulses slow
the story of your life
dying to break out of your blank page
in heaven's waiting room
but you can't tell heaven what you pray
you can't even tell yourself
they say we're in heaven's waiting room
everybody's got a sickness
everybody's got a degree that means nothing
because each one taught you to sit here
waiting,
they say we're in heaven's waiting room
they say we're in heaven's waiting room
i never really liked waiting
signs instructing your impatience
no running for your life
dying to soar out, making paper planes
of heavens waiting room
so you can tell heaven, hi
but you can't show you know the cure
it's mad science here
they say we're in heaven's waiting room
everybody's got a sickness
everybody's got a degree that means nothing
because each one taught you to sit here
waiting,
they say we're in heaven's waiting room
they say we're in heaven's waiting room
i never really liked waiting
knew latest doctor wouldn't help us
might get us to heaven quicker
but longer and longer feels the wait
in heavens waiting room
still you can call heaven and pray
the party line's right here
two party line numbers
they say we're in heaven's waiting room
everybody's got a sickness
everybody's got a degree that means nothing
because each one taught you to sit here
waiting,
they say we're in heaven's waiting room
i tried to climb to heaven
i touched the sky
meteors fell from the ceiling
that had pretended to be my guides
screaming as they fell
"there's no way out of here alive!"
screaming as they fell "there's no way out of here alive!"
i screamed in myself
"there's no way out of here alive!"
insensed, i jumped off the ledge
fell almost six feet
landed back on my feet again
they say we're in heaven's waiting room
i never really liked waiting
love's not even at your finger tips
it's already inside
dying to break out of your blank face
into heavens waiting room
so you can tell heaven, hey
the party's right here
the party's right here
that's what i say
but they say we're in heaven's waiting room
everybody's got a sickness
everybody's got a degree that means nothing
because each one taught you to sit here
waiting,
they say we're in heaven's waiting room
they say we're in heaven's waiting room
they say we're in heaven's waiting room
i say that the party's right here today
