Vacancy

Verse 1

~~~It's been one of those
slow weekdays - you got
growing pains - can't keep your eyes off the
clo-C-K - so you
close your face - and you
float away - hunch up your back like
Notre Dame - even your own brain won't
know the day - when the Lord comes back to
show His face - if you
know His grace - you will
float through space - going up to heaven to claim your
home estate
~~~but even though you know this is
just a dream - something feels wrong, like a
busted seam - you can feel free to
jump with glee
come with me, I got something that you'll
want to see.
~~all the saints got a place with their
name on it - got a front lawn to play
games on it - got a nice ride and a
lane for it - got everything they want and a
place to fit - they're proving to you that it don't
pay to quit - keep prayin' hard and some
day you'll get - a home and a throne, the whole
major bit - and everything you want cause He
paid for it
~~~as we stroll down the gold for your
place to be - we'll recognize not by size but the
name's for me - uh oh! I think you better call the
agency - cause that be's your place but it says
"Vacancy"!!!

Chorus:
Heaven's got no place for me - Vacancy - This is what I hate to see
I have no eternal place to be - Vacancy - Proves to be shame to me
I was ready for heaven but now I'm nameless, see? - Vacancy - Now They're vacatin' me
Throwing me down where no bakings cease - Vacancy - And now I ache for peace

Verse 2

~~~Get away from Me you evil
Doer, cause I never knew ya
Blotted out from the Book of Life
And this is what has doomed ya:
Although you were sure
100% pure
Calling Me Lord
Claiming my Sword
You gave Me much more
And claimed your reward
But headed for the sewer
Before the exit door
So there on the floor
You bowed and you poured
But after you're mourned
Your chances are torn

There's no way around it
Don't stand there astounded
It's hard for the righteous
And even more, the grounded
Before the Earth was founded
My power had resounded
I wrote the Book of Life
And all that is found in.

But you can't turn back, too late for that
That leaves one option, just fade to black
You walk to the ledge, hanging your head
No Life, all strife, so now you're dead
You had you chance on earth
You had your pants and shirt
You had your laughs and hurts
You had your dance and dirge
You had your mansion earned
You changed your stance and turned
Take a glance and learn
Before you rancid burn

You knew the most about Me
Never joked about Me
Told the folks about Me
Always boast about Me
But when you chose re-route,
The angels broke the shout
You've been revoked, so: out!
You see? Almost don't count.

Verse 3

So you know you're mansion is vacant
You're down in hell bakin'
It's warmer than Florida but this is no vacation
New location cause Satan
Defaced your base game plan
It's non-stop pain and you can't stop faintin'

From smoke in your lungs
No jokin', you're done
Look up to heaven see the folks that you loved
Eating from the tree of eternity. See?
All because their lives have been soaked in the blood.

They're closing the curtain so take your last glimpse
It's true what they say that hell is for wimps.
Eternally suffering never be nothin then
It crushes your pride and it tears you up doesn't it?

Wake up! It's time to go home.
Now you appreciate working alone.
Cause you drooled on your papers
Lost your eraser, jammed the good stapler (I'll fix it later.)
Real procrastinator
Later Alligator
Peel out like a potato
But the thought won't fade. You

Walked the straight and narrow through most of your life
But who's really "saved" til they croak and they die?
Glad it was a dream, it opened your eyes
You only get one chance to turn your soul in to Christ
Time's running out and so you better try
Cause you never know when's the final moment of your life.
