Not Ready to Go

There’s no escape
From the pain
Here it comes again
Wearing my graveyard skin
As the night descends
But I’m not ready
No, I’m not ready
To go
No, not ready
To go
Roll me over
And raise my head
Lift my arms
Throw away my meds
One more ride
Round the park where we played
One last trip
To the lake where we bathed
Youth was an awkward time
Never got it right
Shadows captured my mind
So afraid of life
False idols led me astray
And my spirit waned
Routine made me its slave
In the tomb I made
And now I’m ready
Oh, now I’m ready
To aaaaaaaahhhhh…
Take the dance
I refused you
That night
Fly to Greenland
And glide
On the ice
Sail the Kwai
Make love in Bangkok
Spend more time
In your heavenly spot
And now I’m ready.
Oh, now I’m ready
To aaaaaaaaaahhhh…
It’s late
But I’m ready
So late
But I’m ready
It’s late
But I’m ready
To aaaaaaaahhhhh…
Aaaaah…
