                       If I die before I wake
                       At least in heaven I can skate
                       Cause right now on earth I can’t do jack
                       Without the man upon my back

 Now heaven would be a DJ - spinnin’ dub all night long
 And heaven would be just kickin’ back with Jesus packin' my bong
 And if you don’t believe in Jesus, then Muhammed or Buddah, too
 And while the world is warring we just sit back and laugh at you

                   Singin'...
                       If I die before I wake
                       At least in heaven I can skate
                       Cause right now on earth I can’t do jack
                       Without the man upon my back


 Now when most people think of heaven they see those pearly gates
 But I looked a little closer and there’s a sign that says, "Do not skate"
 So if you wanna come to my heaven, well we all gonna have a ball
 And everyone you know is welcome cause we got no gates or walls

                   Singin'...
                       If I die before I wake
                       At least in heaven I can skate
                       Cause right now on earth I can’t do shit
                       Without the man fuckin' with it


 Then I got to the gate, pulled out a list that I’d been callin’ fate
 I’m sorry friend you can’t come in, you got a list here that doesn’t end
 You’re mad cause I smoke dope, you teachin’ any classes in how to cope
 I’ll find a place to rest my head, I’d rather be alone now that I’m dead

 Like Christian Hosoi way back in ‘87, we’ll be bustin’ Christ airs until we get to Heaven
 You think I really care that I missed biology - got my education in stale fishology
 With all your rules you gots to chill - I’m gonna twist out like Mike McGill
 Gonna twist out 'cause I got the skills - gonna twist out 'cause I got the skills
 Got the skills... got the skills... got the skills... got the skills...

                       If I die before I wake
