Lyrics
0:26Feel the sun upon your back
0:38Someone somewhere wants to steal it
0:50Pray each night you'll catch the thief
1:02But while you sleep he comes and takes it
1:15Does that make you think little girl
1:21Doesn't it just little boy
1:27There'll be no stampede on the Pearly Gates
1:39I'll say "After you" you'll say "I don't mind the wait"
1:51There'll be no stampede on those imposing doors
2:03Naked and afraid cowering we crawl on all fours
2:22See the smile on her young face
2:34Watch life casually erase it
2:46Now I know she's all grown up
2:58She wears a look I can't quite place yet
3:10What makes you cry little girl
3:16Maybe I'm scared little boy
3:22There'll be no stampede on the Pearly Gates
3:34I'll say "After you" you'll say "I don't mind the wait"
3:46There'll be no stampede on those imposing doors
3:58Naked and afraid cowering we crawl on all fours
4:08There'll be no stampede on the Pearly Gates
4:21I'll say "After you" you'll say "I don't mind the wait"
Feel the sun upon your back Someone somewhere wants to steal it Pray each night you'll catch the thief But while you sleep he comes and takes it Does that make you think little girl Doesn't it just little boy There'll be no stampede on the Pearly Gates I'll say "After you" you'll say "I don't mind the wait" There'll be no stampede on those imposing doors Naked and afraid cowering we crawl on all fours See the smile on her young face Watch life casually erase it Now I know she's all grown up She wears a look I can't quite place yet What makes you cry little girl Maybe I'm scared little boy There'll be no stampede on the Pearly Gates I'll say "After you" you'll say "I don't mind the wait" There'll be no stampede on those imposing doors Naked and afraid cowering we crawl on all fours There'll be no stampede on the Pearly Gates I'll say "After you" you'll say "I don't mind the wait"
