$5.75
[Chorus]
Can I get to heaven on the tail of a comet?
$5.75 up in my pocket
(Nike Decades on their feet, purple shrouds on every face
It was the story of the year Heaven's Gate)
Can I get to heaven on the tail of a comet?
$5.75 up in my pocket
(Nike Decades on their feet, purple shrouds on every face
It was the story of the year Heaven's Gate)
[Verse 1]
Doomsday cults sprung up in the 90s
Y2K, well they said that it might be
The end of the world as we knew it, feeling fine
You could make a dope website on Mac OS 9
Like this one group did form San Diego
39 beaming up, it was kind of like Waco
Without the firestorm, or ammunition blastin'
Nike Decades on their feet they were strapped in
I remember clicking on that website
The day the news broke, spooky neon and bright
Applesauce and phenobarbital on everybody's plate
Purple shrouds on their faces headed for Heaven's Gate
And don't forget the fare that it cost to ride the comet
Mark Twains priced it out and they had it in their pockets
Because the Hale-Bopp charter cost a nominal fee
I guess even in death nothing is free
[Chorus]
Can I get to heaven on the tail of a comet?
$5.75 up in my pocket
(Nike Decades on their feet, purple shrouds on every face
It was the story of the year Heaven's Gate)
Can I get to heaven on the tail of a comet?
$5.75 up in my pocket
(Nike Decades on their feet, purple shrouds on every face
It was the story of the year Heaven's Gate)
[Verse 2]
People made jokes, we wrote a parody
"MMMBop" by Hanson, kept the melody
"Hale-Bopp" was our version we recorded it
I was fourteen, we got bored of it
Then it was on to Lewinsky
They tore the house down to the ground very quickly
Because once upon atone in the 70s
There lived two friends named Do and Ti
They started a group, offered some answers
Until Ti died of liver cancer
A dozen years later, in Rancho Santa Fe
They went to visit her on a final trip to space
Heavensgate.com, the site remains
Who pays the hosting fee? It's really rather strange
Because the Hale-Bopp charter cost a nominal fee
I guess even in death, nothing is free
[Chorus]
Can I get to heaven on the tail of a comet?
$5.75 up in my pocket
(Nike Decades on their feet, purple shrouds on every face
It was the story of the year Heaven's Gate)
Can I get to heaven on the tail of a comet?
$5.75 up in my pocket
(Nike Decades on their feet, purple shrouds on every face
It was the story of the year Heaven's Gate)
[Outro]
"Hale-Bopp, bop bop, Hale-Bopp
39 people..."
I put it in there
