How It Ends

[00:11.47] I'm looking at you and I'm walking on ice
[00:14.36] Take a big plunge, wouldn't that be nice?
[00:16.88] Nice, cool water running through my hair
[00:19.46] Never gonna see me coming up the rear
[00:22.02] I got a chain link fence wrapped around my feet
[00:25.11] Waiting at the bottom of the pavement sheet
[00:27.45] I saw a flash of lightning and my family and friends
[00:30.84] That was how it began and this is how it ends
[00:35.08] This is how it ends
[00:37.65] This is how it ends
[00:40.19] This is how it ends
[00:43.72] Knock, knock, knocking on heaven's door
[00:46.58] Paid for my ticket and didn't ask for more
[00:48.93] Besides a Redwood casket and a crucifix
[00:51.68] Loved by none and carried by sticks
[00:54.45] Made a fool of myself for all of these years
[00:57.03] You could see me fogging up the whole atmosphere
[00:59.87] And I'm never gonna have a second chance again
[01:03.37] That was how it began and this is how it ends
[01:07.35] This is how it ends
[01:10.16] This is how it ends
[01:12.66] This is how it ends
[01:16.54]
[01:27.35] Never went to church, but I prayed a whole lot
[01:29.36] So I guess I'm forgiven, even if I'm not
[01:31.82] And they can take back the old feelings
[01:33.59] To relieve my debt
[01:34.73] It's in the kitchen sink and the TV set
[01:37.35] Apologies to everyone without a clue
[01:40.44] I'll keep the gates open for the rest of you
[01:42.78] And I can put a good word in for all of my friends
[01:46.43] That was how it began and this is how it ends
[01:50.52] This is how it ends
[01:53.04] This is how it ends
[01:55.70] And this is how it ends
[01:59.58] Now that all of my debts are paid
[02:01.87] I'll be laid to rest and with the rest to lay
[02:04.32] A few seats for the people coming after me
[02:07.13] You can go back home 'cause I set myself free
[02:10.02] And God knows the gettin' was good for a while
[02:13.11] Shovel that dirt to cover this pile
[02:15.49] And take a good look at these dividends
[02:18.81] That was how it began and this is how it ends
[02:22.73] This is how it ends
[02:25.47] This is how it ends
[02:28.35] This is how it ends
[02:31.93]
[02:52.22] This is how it ends
[02:56.32]
