“I want to live life to the ultimate high,
Maybe I'll die young like heroes die,
Maybe I'll kiss you some wild special way.
If nobody kills me or thrills me soon,
I'll die in your arms under the cherry moon.”

Context: I was dreamin' when I wrote this
So sue me if I go 2 fast.
But life is just a party, and parties weren't meant 2 last.
War is all around us, my mind says prepare 2 fight
So if I gotta die I'm gonna listen 2 my body tonight.Yeah, they say two thousand zero zero party over,
oops out of time
So tonight I'm gonna party like it's 1999.

“Dearly beloved
We are gathered here today
2 get through this thing called life.Electric word life
It means forever and that's a mighty long time
But I'm here 2 tell U
There's something else:
The afterworld.A world of never ending happiness
U can always see the sun, day or night.”

I will never try to keep you down
And even if I only see you some of the time
I'm just happy when you come around
And even if the sun don't shine
I'm warm enough when you're in these arms of mine
Just as long as we're together.”

New world needs spirituality that will last
I've seen the future and it will be.”
