Everyone's life has a chest full of lies
To be denied till the moment you die
Saint Peter awaits to take them in in exchange
For free admission to the Pearly Gates
Cuz Heaven's a treasure chest up in the sky
Invisible until you die
If God is our father it can't be denied
Daddy just loves to lie
Sometimes the Lord demands a chunk out of some great sinners' lives
Where they comprise their evil and they forego compromise
Where they roll the lint brushes over their black suits and tighten up their ties
And try to qualify for the Cakewalk in the sky
It was Charlie Babbit who said it the best
If you could figure it out then you might get some rest
Cuz life's not a riddle, man it's a joke
Now put on some sunscreen and let's hit the road
Cuz there aint no real answers to Who, What, and Why
You're just a savant with a man shoved inside
Our father has left but he left us this car
Cuz Daddy just loved to drive
Sometimes the Lord demands a chunk out of some great sinners' lives
Where they disavow their vices and recant their many lies
Where the angels start rejoicin and the demons shake and it makes those rafters rise
And you can almost smell the pastries from the Cakewalk in the sky
Sometimes at night I awake by your side
Troublesome dreams still creep through my mind
And I hold you close, dear but you never know
How freely I cry, how quiet, how slow
Cuz girl you're my treasure to keep till I die
Here under the covers, safe from the lies
If Heaven's a chest then we're nestled inside
You are my whole world tonight
Sometimes the Lord demands a chunk out of some great sinners' lives
Where they comprise their evil and they forego compromise
Where they roll the lint brushes over their black suits and tighten up their ties
And try to qualify for the Cakewalk in the sky
Well sometimes the Lord's asleep and there's a twitching in His eyes
And the world begins to shimmer and it's filled with butterflies
And there aint nobody watchin for the moment so I slip off my disguise
And do my last strut to the Cakewalk in the sky

Everyone's life has a chest full of lies

Cuz Heaven's a treasure chest up in the sky
Invisible until you die
If God is our father it can't be denied
Daddy just loves to lie
Sometimes the Lord demands a chunk out of some great sinners' lives
