Pearly Gates

Feel the sun upon your back
 Someone somewhere wants to steal it
 Pray each night you'll catch the thief
 But while you sleep he comes and takes it
 Does that make you think little girl?
 Doesn't it just little boy
 There'll be no stampede on the Pearly Gates
 I'll say "after you" you'll say "I don't mind the wait"
 There'll be no stampede on those imposing doors
 Naked and afraid, cowering we crawl on all fours
 See the smile on her young face
 Watch life casually erase it
 Now I know she's all grown up
 She wears a look I can't quite place yet
 What makes you cry little girl?
 Maybe I'm scared little boy
 There'll be no stampede on the Pearly Gates
 I'll say "after you" you'll say "I don't mind the wait"
 There'll be no stampede on those imposing doors
 Naked and afraid, cowering we crawl on all fours
 There'll be no stampede on the Pearly Gates
 I'll say "after you" you'll say "I don't mind the wait"
