Lyrics:

I was born and raised and lived and loved and died today
But when I saw the lights my word was hip hooray
It took me by surprise
It was right before my eyes

Talkin' bout my home
The city in the sky
Talkin' bout my home
The only home I ever known

Well you're halfway through the gate where you will live inside
Well I knew a dude who said it aint no trip he lied
Well I saw his face, oh God
When we crossed the promenade

[Chorus]

Well now I've got to catch that wonderful express
So I'll just say good evening to you all God bless
Just put me on that train
T that great celestial plane

[Chorus]
