Guest List in Heaven

from Hangin' in the I​.​P. by Cosmic Bull

/

about

One of the newest collaborations between Mark Vickery and Paul Von Mertens, from the point of view of the "retired playboy."

lyrics

In my mood it started raining
For things no longer worth sustaining
And my body's like a carnival that's left town
It's broken rides
My happiness is not for letting
That's something that I keep forgetting
Only to remind myself once I'm back lying face down
Through bloodshot eyes

If I won't be forgiven
By those I've wronged
However long
I still have time - again
And there's no guest list in heaven
This job is mine
To find ways to climb
And in my mind
Call it divine
And make it real somehow

In the garden it was raining
But in my soul there's no complaining
Over rocks and brambles
My heart carries no frown
It just subsides
May I be happy living this life
May you be happy living your life
You might have knots entangled
But I won't make a sound
But I'll hope you rise

If I won't be forgiven
By those I've wronged
However long
I still have time - again
And there's no guest list in heaven
This job is mine
To find ways to climb
And in my mind
Call it divine
And make it real somehow
