Starts what is kind of a sequence of songs that take place in a dream-like state. Following the pervious track Left With A Funeral, this song is about a death parade but being conscious and aware.
lyrics
Well I guess it’s my time
I’m gonna see old Saint Pete
So throw me a party have a parade
My maker I will meet
The sun is shining
And everybody yells and cheers
As I pass them by in a black Cadillac
A mean old man he sneers
He says you ain’t goin where you want to go
Wipe that smile off your face I tell you so
What’s in store for you son it’s a shame
Light will fade there’s no one left to blame
Look at the sun it is fallin
Hear me Lord I am callin
I can’t tell where I’m goin
I can’t tell where I’m goin
