It's the one way ticket train
Mum always said you were a pain
But if it's the end it's right you know
Now you're getting ready to go
So put on your best suit
Shined shoes and smile to boot
You were never one to leave a lady waiting round for you
And she's in the waiting room
She was told you'd be here soon
She was the one you love
The one you couldn't be happy without
So I hope you're ready to go
Are your bags all packed?
Can you hear our voice?
We're here, and we're here standing next to you
So what are you gonna do?
Look up and take that leap
In drug induced sleep
Your lover's on the other side for you
Now you can dance the night away
Somewhere you'll always stay
There's nothing here
There's nothing left to fear
This house it stays the same
Thrugh happy times and pain
There's somewhere more important in the sky
For when you give up this fight
She sits impatiently tonight
Her hand on yours and mind up in the clouds
So even if you cannot hear
I know in body that you're here
So just let go and run in to the light
But surely now's the time
You were told we'd all be fine
And we hope that you'll be too
So I hope you're ready to go
Are your bags all packed?
Can you hear our voice?
We're here, and we're here staying next to you
So do what you have to do
Look up and take that leap
In drug induced sleep
Your lover's on the other side for you
And as videotapes play
We say what we want to say
A dream-like state
It's times like these it hurts too much to wait
But I promise that we will
Until at night we feel the chill
And then it'll be your turn
To wait around for us
