Measured In Sky Lyrics

VERSE 1

Swing to the rhythm of a Screwtape letter.
Not the Red letter that the heretic spoke.
He's a total drag and my ways is better.
Do it till you're satisfied.
Do it til ya choke.
It's just the dust of the ground you went back to.
The freedom that ya wanted now traps you.
Thinking you can live it up now-
‘cause forever can wait.
Cause if you ain't sinnin' then-
ya just ain' livin'.

SUB-VERSE 1

Allow me to entice you.
My palace of pleasures is fully loaded.
But not with things that delight,
but with things that ignite.
Don't ask yourself if it's worth it.

CHORUS
You only live forever once.
Your life is measured in sky.
You only live forever once.
Forever smoke or shine.

VERSE 2

I lied before when I said you won't die.
Now let me sucker y'all one more time.
Everybody's gotta die one day.
Forget the old book of the Way beyond the grave.
Don' live by a fairy tale
where the good go to Heaven
and the bad go to Hell.
Shining on High
Or smokin' below.
It's all just the language of mind control.

SUB-VERSE 2
Don't let some old book jive you.
The gospels out-dated and over-rated.
You're missing all the pleasure
for your eternal treasure.
Gamble for the rush and wage your soul.

REPEAT CHORUS

INTERLUDE
Measured in sky.
Is it so hard to believe?
Smoke or shine
For eternity.

BRIDGE A-B (Modified lyrics from "Spirt in the Sky" by Norman GreenBaum)
I wanna go to the spirit in the sky.
Don't wanna smoke I wanna shine if I die.

If they should lay me down to rest,
I wanna go to the place that's the best

Recommend me to the spirit in the sky, Lord
Recommend me to the spirit in the sky
Recommend me to the spirit in the sky, Lord

I wanna be where you are
I pray the Lamb's Book of life
inks my name by the One
who was slain.

REPEAT CHORUS
