Expiry Dates

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
