If I die before I wake At least in heaven, I can skate 'Cause right now on Earth, I can't do jack Without the man up on my back Now heaven would be a DJ Spinning dub all night long And heaven would be just kickin' back With Jesus packing my bong And if you don't believe in Jesus And Muhammad or Buddha too And while the world is warring We just sit back and laugh at you, singing If I die before I wake At least in heaven I can skate 'Cause right now on Earth, I can't do jack Without the man up on my back Now, when most people think of heaven They see those pearly gates But I looked a little closer And there's a sign that says "Do not skate" So, if you wanna come to my heaven Where we all gonna have a ball And everyone you know is welcome 'Cause we got no gates or walls, singing If I die before I wake At least in heaven I can skate (Heaven is a halfpipe) 'Cause right now on Earth, I can't do shit Without the man fucking with it Then I got to the gate Pulled out a list that I'd been calling fate I'm sorry, friend, you can't come in You got a list here that doesn't end You're mad 'cause I smoke dope You teaching any classes in how to cope? I'll find a place to rest my head I'd rather be alone now that I'm dead Like Christian Hosoi way back in '87 We'll be busting Christ Airs until we get to heaven You think I really care that I missed biology? Got my education in Stalefish-ology With all your rules, you gots to chill I'm gonna twist out like Mike McGill Gonna twist out 'cause I got the skills Gonna twist out 'cause I got the skills (got the skills, got the skills) (Got the skills, got the skills) (Heaven is a halfpipe) If I die before I wake At least in heaven, I can skate 'Cause right now on Earth, I can't do jack Without the man up on my back (Heaven is a halfpipe) If I die before I wake At least in heaven, I can skate (Heaven is a halfpipe) 'Cause right now on Earth, I can't do shit Without the man fucking with it If I die before I wake (if I die before I wake) At least in heaven, I can skate (Heaven is a halfpipe) 'Cause right now on Earth, I can't do shit Without the man fucking with it If I die before I wake At least in heaven, I can skate (no, I don't care, I don't care) 'Cause right now on Earth, I can't do shit (I don't care, I don't care) Without the man fucking with it If I die before I wake At least in heaven, I can skate (Heaven is a halfpipe) 'Cause right now on Earth, I can't do shit
