*"The Afterlife"*(Paul Simon)After I died, and the make up had dried, I went back to my place.No moon that night, but a heavenly light shone on my face.Still I thought it was odd, there was no sign of God just to usher me in.Then a voice from above, sugar coated with Love, said, "Let us begin".You got to fill out a form first, and then you wait in the line.You got to fill out a form first, and then you wait in the line.OK, a new kid in school, got to follow the rule, you got to learn the routine.Woah, there's a girl over there, with the sunshiny hair, like a homecomin' queen.I said, "Hey, what you say? It's a glorious day, by the way how long you been dead?"Maybe you, maybe me, maybe baby makes three, but she just shook her head...You got to fill out a form first, and then you wait in the line.You got to fill out a form first, and then you wait in the line.Buddah and Moses and all the noses from narrow to flat,Had to stand in the line, just to glimpse the divine, what you think about that?Well it seems like our fate to suffer and wait for the knowledge we seek.It's all his design, no one cuts in the line, no one here likes a sneakYou got to fill out a form first, and then you wait in the line.You got to fill out a form first, and then you wait in the line.After you climb, up the ladder of time, the Lord God is here.Face to face, in the vastness of space, your words disappear.And you feel like swimming in an ocean of love, and the current is strong.But all that remains when you try to explain is a fragment of song...Lord is it, Be Bop A Lu La or Ooh Poppa DoLord, Be Bop A Lu La or Ooh Poppa DoBe Bop A Lu La

A perfect rehearsal. I love this song. Lyrics:After I died and the makeup had dried I went back to my place No moon that night, but a heavenly light Shown on my face Still I thought it was odd there was no sign of God Just to usher me in Then a voice from above sugarcoated with love Said, "Let us begin" You got to fill out a form first And then you wait in the line You got to fill out a form first And then you wait in the line Okay, new kid in school Got to follow the rule You got to learn the routine Whoa! There's a girl over there With the sunshiny hair like a homecoming queen I said "Hey, whatcha say, it's a glorious day By the way, how long you been dead?" Maybe you, maybe me, maybe baby makes three But she just shook her head You got to fill out a form first And then you wait in the line You got to fill out a form first And then you wait in the line Buddha and Moses and all the noses From narrow to flat Had to stand in the line Just to glimpse the divine Whatcha think about that? Well, it seems like our fate To suffer and wait for the knowledge we seek It's all His design No one cuts in the line No one here likes a sneak You got to fill out a form first And then you wait in the line You got to fill out a form first And then you wait in the line After you climb up the ladder of time The Lord God is near Face-to-face in the vastness of space Your words disappear And you feel like you're swimming in an ocean of love And the current is strong But all that remains when you try to explain Is a fragment of song Lord, is it Be Bop a Lula? Or ooh Papa Doo? Lord, Be Bop a Lula? Or ooh Papa Doo? Be Bop a Lula

The truly amazing thing is this bit of beauty isn't even my favorite on the album. IMO "Love is Eternal Sacred Light" and the title track have it beat. This manis one of my favorite musicians, and he managed to pull off one of his best works at the ripe age of 69, after a bajillion other albums. He still has yet to top The Rhythm of the Saints, but very few have.
