The Tiger Lillies - Go lyrics

You were a small child Your whole life before A mother and a father Who you adored Baby songs and flowers Every day you grow Then Jesus came and he said "Go" You were a teenager Your whole life before Your future burning bright With dreams and goals to score With teenage songs and fashion trends Dressing up in clothes Then Jesus came and he said "Go" You were in you twenties Most of you life before You studied and worked hard Your future looked a**ured But then you drove your car too quick When you should've drove it slow Then Jesus came and he said "Go" You were in your thirties More than half your life before A wife, a family, a job You felt self-a**ured Well, you loved art and culture Music it did flow Then Jesus came and he said "Go" Well you were in your forties In your heart you still felt young The future still before you Though solemnly half-sung So much still to do Your talent to show Then Jesus came and said "Go" Well you were in your fifties The sun, it still burned bright Though you start to feel the darkness Of eternal night And the candle starts to flicker And the ending starts to show And then Jesus came and he said "Go" Well you were in your sixties And the autumn leaves the fall Your grandchildren visit you On you they do call You look back on your life The melancholy [?] Then Jesus comes and says "Go" Well you were in your seventies It's time to retire And now you think another day And you will expire So when that fateful day arrives You can say "Hello!" When Jesus comes and says "Go"
