A dialogue with God and the Devil. God speaks the Bible tongue and the Devil Aussie slang.

lyrics

PARADISE AND HELL

Good morrow, lad, sayeth God
How didst thou pass my guardian angels?
Excuse me, pardon, what a nice garden,
I am just passing through
Can I ask you, please, a question or two?

What is space and what is time?
Are we here for some reason
or just for the rhyme?
And what will happen, when I cross the line?
Will I be fine, will I drink wine
When I’m 69?

Listen, my son, well, just for fun
There is no space, there is no time.
Thou goest Nowhere
When thou kickest the air.
This very verse
Is the only universe
Thou art not worth a dime
Yes, thou art here just for the rhyme.

Paradise and Hell
A Blessing and a Spell
The Beast and La Belle
Hello and Farewell.

G’day my sprog, have you come for a jog?
How did you pass my dark hell’s angels?
Excuse me, pardon,
What a nice cauldron,
I am just passing through
Can I ask you, please, a question or two?

What is space and what is time?
Are we here for some reason
or just for the rhyme?
And what will happen
When I cross the line?
Will I be fine, will I drink wine
When I’m 69?

Well, listen, sproggy, it’s all a bit foggy
There is no space, there is no time.
You go Nowhere
When you kick the air.
This very verse
Is the only universe
You are not worth a dime
And yes, you’re here just for the rhyme.

Paradise and Hell (at the same time)
A Blessing and a Spell (in the same rhyme)
The Beast and La Belle (in the same name)
Hello and Farewell (in the same game)

Paradise and Hell (at the same time)
A Blessing and a Spell (in the same rhyme)
The Beast and La Belle (in the same name)
Hello and Farewell.
