See the orange sun drop on the street high heels clip clop
the girls in fine dresses all cross when the cars stop
dirty old dogs bark in the alley where itâs dark
and I tie my necktie in the lot where the cars park
walkinâ there up the stairs and Iâm fixing up my hair
I used to try to look nice now I donât really care
my oh my, look whoâs come to say goodbye
to the church I walk in as the singing begins
I nod to my old friend Tim (wow, his hair got so thin)
a girl whispers, âHow are you?â as slide into the pew
I say,âGood, how 'bout you?â and she whispers,âGood,â too
together we rise
with the colored lights shining in our eyes
weâre down on the ground where itâs ugly and brown
and up in the rafters heavenly sound echoes around
the man in the robe with the candles Iâm told
went to high school with my uncle Bob (wow, heâs old)
and everybody cries and gets down on their knees another time
yeah everybody cries and goes searchinâ through their pockets for a dime
then we all stand and sing as the organ it rings
the big grand finale, some songs about kings
the old folks feel redeemed and the children fuss and scream
and I see myself Lord, somewhere in between
my oh my, maybe I got something in my eye
but I canât lie, I canât tell the ceiling from the sky
