[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
