• The Higher You Get, The Farther The Fall [1x09]

The Angels:
Welcome, welcome
Recently deceased,
Be you democrat, republican,
Chorus girl or priest.
Though you closed up shop
And you're recently departed,
We're afraid the final test
Has only just started.

Ivy:
But don't come to us
With your worries
And complaints.

Unnamed girl:
Save it for the doorman
Who's a Saint
Among saints.

The Angels:
He knows your future
'Cuz he's seen your past
Which is why
He might be telling you:

Norbert Leo Butz:
"Hold on, not so fast".
Woo!
When you're... Knock, knock, knocking
Up on heaven's gate,
Don't you trip up or you'll slip
On a holy twist of fate
As I said last night to St. Vinny Depaul:
"The higher you get, the farther the fall".
Now, you think that you're on top,
How you love to wear the crown,
But don't you know
That up means there's no place to go
But down?
And it's already written
On the big man's wall:
"The higher you get, the farther the fall".
Well, the last rites you've been given
And you wanna cut in line
But look out, brother,
I might pull a switch
'Cuz the things you did while livin'
Well, they weren't all divine.
And don't you know that karma is a...
Well, you'll understand if I don't finish that last sentence.

All:
Thank God!

Norbert Leo Butz:
Oh, when your book of life is read
And the judgment day is near
You'll say: "point me toward the exit, armagettin' out of here!"
'Cuz when you slide down
Well, you can't come back, y'all
'Cuz the higher you get, the farther the fall.
Was your life a bed of roses?
Well, get ready for some thorns
Delivered by 'ol Beelzebub
Mit pointy tail and horns.

Unnamed Man:
Like the song that my heart
Sang to my cholesterol:

All:
"The higher you get, the farther the fall".

Norbert Leo Butz:
Oh, your face was in the movies!
You were quite the superstar,
Well, dear, Heaven has no agents,
We don't follow your PR.
So, you may get cut when the final credits crawl,
'Cuz the higher you get, the farther the fall!
You're so proud that you conducted life
Like music on the breeze!
The bravos made you think you were a smash!
But now it's time to be instructed
On the world's great symphonies
'Cuz the good ones always end up with a crash!
So once everything was first class, you were always flying high!

All:
But your flight's been grounded,

Norbert Leo Butz:
Even coach has passed you by!
Like a senator who's tapping on an airport Bathroom stall, ooh!
The higher you get, the farther the fall!
Now I'm kickin' butt and takin' names
Higher and higher,
'Cuz even St. Joan
Went down in flames
Higher and higher.
Some hot stuff!
Napoleon waterlooed and
Genghis Khan sure hit a slump.
I might say: "You're fired",
When you have expired Donald Trump!
VIPs don't wanna hear it that they might not
Get inside,
But camels through a needle?
Here's the key.
And to all those poor in spirit,
Well the doors are open wide,
Go right on in and have a drink on me,
Last call!
So if you are high and mighty,
Well, you better not assume!
That you will not get a whack at the crack of doom
'Cause you still might get the hook, before the final curtain call,
So, let me take a look
To see who has the wherewithal!
Gee I wish the Lord could type
'Cuz man it's hard to read this scrawl,

All:
He said: "the higher you get!"
Say what?
"The higher you get!"
In harmony, girls!
"The higher you get!"
Ooh, that's nice!
"The farther you… fall&
