Crystal Palace

Lyrics

Movin' kinda slow, no I never had much balance
 Why does everyone I know keep makin' lots a' dough
 I guess I'll find out soon when I get to that crystal palace in the sky
 I've heard stories second hand about it's grand interior
 Its gold and silver strands, cathedral ceilings way up high
 All the furnishing's unique when you get to your crystal palace in the sky
 Well, I've worked as a part time circus boy
 Collected cans down saticoy
 And patiently put forth my master plan
 I've imagined futures and full plates
 And slept with every subliminal tape
 But now I'm so angry at someone
 My contract is in breach
 Why must my crystal palace be on hold this week?
 I feel lucky I suppose, at least we're all still breathin'
 Stuck here in escrow, just a' waitin' out our loan
 But no big armed patrol will stop me when I get to my crystal palace by and by
 And it'll be my way or the highway
 Gettin' to my crystal palace in the sky
