Here On Earth (i'll Have My Cake) Lyrics - The Ghosts That Haunt Me - Crash Test Dummies

Some folks say that life is just a veil of tears 

Not me man, I can't pack enough into these years 

I don't care if it's spring, summer, winter or fall 

Make no fuss about the seasons 'cause I like 'em all 

Here on earth I'll have my cake 

Gonna eat it too, make no mistake 

'Cause if it's a question of to be or not to be 

I'll put on my boots and go see what I can see 

My grandpa, well, a good Christian life he led 

Worked like a dog just to put a roof over his head 

He said that when he died he'd get his reward 

'Cause heaven's a place where you don't pay, room and board 

When I die, I hope I don't die too slow 

But slow or quick, I hope heaven is the place I go 

Old St. Pete's gonna serve me my pie in the sky 

And I'll say, "Pete, a side of ice cream, if you don't mind"
