Before I leave this world 
I want to see it spin from out there 
Watch the colours swirl 
Before we blow it into shades of black and grey 
This could happen any day now 
Before I leave this world 
I want to see it from the bottom 
As close as I can get to the heart of the matter 

No wings and no gates 
Just skill-testing questions and expiry dates 
When you step on through the next phase 

Before I leave this world 
I want to know whatever they know 
'Cause I'm not afraid to hold it 
Wanna blow the whole thing wide open 

Before I leave this world 
I want to tell you all that I know 
And say all the things 
I should have said a long, long time ago 

No wings and no gates 
Just skill-testing questions and expiry dates 
When you step on through the next phase 
Step up to the big stage
