Step By Step Lyrics - Eyedea

[Eyedea] 

I got a little story to tell 

See it was September 1st, 1999, the day of my death 

My back was on the cold concrete as I take my last breath 

Saw my body laying on the ground as my soul hovered above me 

Damn Eyedea you was a good lookin' cat 

But anyway another day at 18 years of age 

Step in heaven's gate anxious to see what God got to say 

Maybe he'll give me a gift for always saying my prayers 

But he might send me downstairs for last year's love affair 

Well who cares 

You know right now it's all a mystery 

I mean I'll find out when I get there 

Until then I can't let it get to me 

I'm keepin' my cool 

Besides everybody dies 

I'll just follow the white light like the do in the movies 

It seems like I was went by and I'm still travelin 

Right towards the brightness 

Now this ain't heaven of hell 

This realm is lifeless 

And I hate to say it 

But this wild goose chase had me bored 

No directions, no clues, no idea what I was in for 

But forward I kept floating 

And then a quick flash the lights split directly in half 

And created a forked path 

Representing each side is an angel 

Now whats the task I have to untangle to meet the big man in charge I ask 

And one on the right of me says one of us always lies and one that always tells the truth 

Ask the right one the right question he'll direct you to heaven 

If ask the wrong one son, farwell you going straight to well.... 

Y'all get the picture 

The one on my left told me not to listen to his fibs 

He said it ain't that complicated to find out where god lives 

He told me to follow his path 

and tell god that he said hi 

Then the one on my right jumped in and told me not to believe his lies 

and I'm like Jesus Fucking Christ 

I didn't care much for life 

But I've tried to stay alive forever if I knew this is what death was like 

I was never good at problem solving especially in emergencies 

I get a tad bit nervous when concerned with burning for eternity 

but anyway I asked them which one lied and they pointed at each other 

Thinking I'd had it I asked the name of my mother 

One said he don't know the other said he know but he can't tell me 

God damn this is going to be hard 

So I asked 30 questions and I still wasn't sure 

but being me I gave those pricks a few good words 

Frustrated with it all 

I turned my back to the angels and when I walked away to my surprise 

I found myself in heaven 

(Ya know I'm saying 

Kinda just turned around from the whole situation 

Rejecting everything that was going on 

Thats how I walked into heaven) 

I Walked away, walked away, walked straight into heaven... 

I Walked away, walked away, walked straight into heaven...
