Before I leave this world    I want to see it spin from out there    Watch the colours swirl    Before we blow it into shades of black and grey    This could happen any day now    Before I leave this world    I want to see it from the bottom    As close as I can get to the heart of the matter       No wings and no gates    Just skill-testing questions and expiry dates    When you step on through the next phase       Before I leave this world    I want to know whatever they know   'Cause I'm not afraid to hold it    Wanna blow the whole thing wide open       Before I leave this world    I want to tell you all that I know    And say all the things    I should have said a long, long time ago       No wings and no gates    Just skill-testing questions and expiry dates    When you step on through the next phase    Step up to the big stage    Flip on to the last page
