Light At The End Of The Tunnel

(Album: Advice From The Happy Hippopotamus - 2005)

...when I felt the cold coming up
I went "oh my god, I'm dying"

And the next thing I know
I was out of my body
And I had no pain

I was aware that the room was light
Seemed to be filling with a very white light

I noticed a tunnel opening up
A very dark tunnel
With rings in it
And a very white
Tiny white second light at the very end
That we were moving down toward

The tunnel was very interesting because
It was full of rings
Like a child's play tube out in the backyard

We made it through the tunnel
We got to the white light
The little hole had opened up
And we got to the white light

And my life was shown very quickly
Like an old fashioned movie
That you see on those tapes
Flickering at me

And everything from when I was very very young
That I thought, did, said
Everything I should have done
Everything I didn't do
I was so aware that the few good things I had done
They were so few

And I said "no, no"
I said, "I wanna go back
I wanna go back
I wanna go back!"
