Before I leave this world

I want to see it spin from out there

Watch the colours swirl

Before we blow it into shades of black and grey

This could happen any day now

Before I leave this world

I want to see it from the bottom

As close as I can get to the heart of the matter



No wings and no gates

Just skill-testing questions and expiry dates

When you step on through the next phase



Before I leave this world

I want to know whatever they know

'Cause I'm not afraid to hold it

Wanna blow the whole thing wide open



Before I leave this world

I want to tell you all that I know

And say all the things

I should have said a long, long time ago



No wings and no gates

Just skill-testing questions and expiry dates

When you step on through the next phase

Step up to the big stage
