Thought that I died today Walked off the stage Faded away up through the clouds To 'the gig in the sky' And when I arrived, the angels were singing this song Yeah you know the one, are you singing along? Thought I'd know just what to do That it'd be how I wanted it to The Ox and Moon were counting me in I had to give in Make the thunder and lightning sing In the eye of the storm, there's no right and no wrong So long, so long Someday all the world will sing my song Still life remains Somewhere in my heart the beat goes on I thought it was the end of the world Beat with guitars, and all that I understand Is air through metal and wood I'm misunderstood And wasted on money and fame I'll throw it away Just to prove that I can I'm the last of a dying breed And it's not the end of the world, oh no It's not even the end of the day So long, so long Someday all the world will sing my song Still life remains Somewhere in my heart the beat goes on So long, so long Someday all the world will sing my song Still life remains Somewhere in my heart the beat goes on So long, so long Someday all the world will sing my song Still life remains Somewhere in my heart the beat goes on
