J. M. Thompson - Waiting for Paradise

They know when you're about to die
Cats come running to say goodbye
They sit there waiting to comfort the ill
They cull the weak, and come for the kill

You know how in a thousand years
They'll be talking about our foolish tears
Thinking we could get by with half of us spent
When really it had to be ninety percent

I'm tired of waiting for paradise
I'm tired of waiting for the love of God

You know how it looks from space
When everybody's building a Chinese wall
And you're the only one sitting in place
Because you're scared and scared it's going to fall

That Egyptian god and his cats
Waiting at the gate of the underworld
Scaring you half to death
Oh, what a crazy day it was

I been praying for the good to rise
And for the sinners to fall down
I don't need no cats 'round here
Dragging me down to the ground

I'm tired of waiting for the rain to fall
I'm tired of waiting for paradise
Oh, Jesus
I've been good so long

Don't want to wake up in a thousand years
I'm tired of waiting for paradise
