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"
