Movin kinda slow, no I never had much balance
Why does everyone I know keep makin lots a dough
I guess Ill find out soon when I get to that crystal palace in the sky

Ive heard stories second hand about its grand interior
Its gold and silver strands, cathedral ceilings way up high
All the furnishings unique when you get to your crystal palace in the sky

Well, Ive worked as a part time circus boy
Collected cans down saticoy
And patiently put forth my master plan

Ive imagined futures and full plates
And slept with every subliminal tape
But now Im so angry at someone
My contract is in breach
Why must my crystal palace be on hold this week?

I feel lucky I suppose, at least were all still breathin
Stuck here in escrow, just a waitin out our loan
But no big armed patrol will stop me when I get to my crystal palace by and by

And itll be my way or the highway
Gettin to my crystal palace in the sky
