Story Behind The Song

One summer's death shook the community. These things make us question death...it also made me imagine the doorway to heaven, which was also inspired by an offhand remark by a terminal hepatitis patient-- "Death isn't such a bad way to go--if you find another way out, let me know!"

Song Description

Passing of a jazzmaster

Lyrics

We'll go back
to the time of beloved things
Making wishes on the highway of the kings
Will I Why? Will we die?
Is there another way out I'm still going to try
There's a doorway to heaven in your head
It doesn't open anymore

And we'll go back
Nineteen-sixty-four
To the fight for the highway of the kings
We will sing of flowers and rings and shining things
Is it real When I'm alone
The darkness creeps in
The shadows make my bed
Lost in the world spilling from my head

And I'll come back
After being alone
Now you know why I hate going home
And I make a wish that we will never die
And live forever in two-thousand-five
Hello private caller ID unkown
I am here and you are here
We all live together
And then we die alone

Until

Ashes of a jazzmaster man
Ashes to Ashes to Ashes to Ashes to Ashes to Ashes to
Dust to Dust to Dust to Dust to Dust to Dust
death death death
Ashes of a jazzmaster man
