Here lies Charlie<\/span>
You can tell it's him 'cause we put his name on the stone<\/span>
He kept his showers ice cold, used eco-friendly lightbulbs<\/span>
Rode his bicycle to work when the gasoline price rose<\/span>
He'd judge with no pretense, fish on the weekends<\/span>
Each morning, get up, do the Pledge of Allegiance<\/span>
Never swim in the ocean, for fear of shark attacks<\/span>
Bi-monthly get his wife a rose with a card attached<\/span>
Avoiding all the little things that were hard to ask<\/span>
Had a car crash, cardiac arrest, died of a heart attack<\/span>
Golden escalator, all his friends and neighbors<\/span>
Huddled there in prayer around the respirator<\/span>
Catch you later, I'm off to see the man upstairs<\/span>
They all look like ants from here, stars and crystal chandeliers<\/span>
There was an angel at the entrance, checking off a guest list<\/span>
Charlie wasn't on it, and was ushered to the exit<\/span>
His heart sank<\/span>
He was breathless<\/span>
Excuse me, sir, there must be someone you've confused me for<\/span>
If I could see someone who knew me or someone in uniform<\/span>
I go to church on Sunday, truly, usually more<\/span>
Screaming at the angels while they pushed him through the door<\/span>
Excuse me, sir, there must be someone you've confused me for<\/span>
If I could see someone who knew me or someone in uniform<\/span>
I go to church on Sunday, truly, usually more<\/span>
Screaming at the angels while they pushed him through the door<\/span>
Abandon all hope, all ye who enter<\/span>
It was a horrifying sign, but sounded like a neat adventure<\/span>
Far beyond the halos and the castles in the clouds<\/span>
Fatsos squealing, shackled with some apples in their mouths<\/span>
Attention whores in padded bras hanging from extension cords<\/span>
Tortured with the products from their favorite catalogs<\/span>
Here, we buy and sell a million kinds of Hell<\/span>
Imagination is the limit to the devil's clientele<\/span>
Up a dingy elevator, no televised debate<\/span>
The Savior saves you from the Hell you paid for, sorry, but it's, "smell you later"<\/span>
Side-stepped fate, went right for the gate<\/span>
But you know the devil, he loves a good chase<\/span>
There was a demon at the entrance, making X's on a checklist<\/span>
Who would kick you in the ass when you begged him for repentance<\/span>
Those tempted by the senses with the cruelest of intentions<\/span>
Charlie's heart sank<\/span>
He was breathless<\/span>
Excuse me, sir, there must be someone you've confused me for<\/span>
If I could see someone who knew me or someone in uniform<\/span>
I really don't belong here, I know you've heard the tune before<\/span>
Screaming at the demons while they pushed him through the door<\/span>
Excuse me, sir, there must be someone you've confused me for<\/span>
If I could see someone who knew me or someone in uniform<\/span>
I really don't belong here, I know you've heard the tune before<\/span>
Screaming at the demons while they pushed him through the door<\/span>
You can run from your demons until you are exhausted<\/span>
One day you will have to stop and find out what they wanted<\/span>
Keep on running from those demons until you are exhausted<\/span>
You can run to those angels 'til you are exhausted<\/span>
One day you will have to stop and question what they wanted<\/span>
Keep on running to those angels until you are exhausted<\/span>
Excuse me, sir, there must be someone you've confused me for (I don't want to die)<\/span>
If I could see someone who knew me or someone in uniform<\/span>
I really don't belong here, I know you've heard the tune before (please, don't let me die)<\/span>
Excuse me, sir, there must be someone you've confused me for (I don't want to die)<\/span>
If I could see someone who knew me or someone in uniform<\/span>
I really don't belong here, I know you've heard the tune before (please, don't let me die)<\/span>
