Feel the sun upon your back

Someone somewhere wants to steal it

Pray each night you'll catch the thief

But while you sleep he comes and takes it

Does that make you think little girl

Doesn't it just little boy

There'll be no stampede on the Pearly Gates

I'll say "After you" you'll say "I don't mind the wait"

There'll be no stampede on those imposing doors

Naked and afraid cowering we crawl on all fours

See the smile on her young face

Watch life casually erase it

Now I know she's all grown up

She wears a look I can't quite place yet

What makes you cry little girl

Maybe I'm scared little boy

There'll be no stampede on the Pearly Gates

I'll say "After you" you'll say "I don't mind the wait"

There'll be no stampede on those imposing doors

Naked and afraid cowering we crawl on all fours 248693,-511)

There'll be no stampede on the Pearly Gates

I'll say "After you" you'll say "I don't mind the wait"
