Rex Sunflower - Come To Heaven’s Gate
Acoustic guitar drives the rhythm with bright strumming, complemented by upright bass and restrained percussion. Harmonica accents key phrases between sung lines, as male vocals deliver verses with raw, heartfelt intensity. Occasional backup harmonies swell in the chorus for impact.

Lyrics
Now I’m back
Back from Japan
Back in my home land
Turns out I couldn’t trust Shoko
But oh how I enjoyed being a shoko man
Now I’m done with the cults
I’m done with the scams
Now that I’ve met this wonderful man
Marshall Applewhite
Talked to Jesus Christ
He told him a space ship
Will bring us to the afterlife
pre-chorus
Marshall Applewhite
Why would he lie?
Marshall Applewhite
I’ll always be by your side
Marshall Applewhite
You’re the apple of my eye
Marshall Applewhite
chorus
Come to heaven’s gate
It’ll be so great
Come to heaven’s gate
Set the date
Come to heaven’s gate
Before it’s too late
verse 2
Everyone's been so nice up here,
They've even offered to shave my pubes,
They've always got some vodka to share,
All to strengthen our attitudes, (oh marshall!)
Can't wait wait to see this spacecraft,
And fly high above the sky,
Hey, go easy on the Sunflower shaft!
I said go easy, guy!
spoken word - yelling scared
I need that to pee!
spoken word
Aw, shucks Marshall, look what you've done!
verse
But Marshall calmed me down
during this awkward moment
Said I wouldn't need it where we were going
Now I feel fine again
Just me and my heaven's gate friends
la lalala la lala la la
Everybody!
la lalala la lala la la
So loud even the space ship can hear it
la lalala la lala la la!
Hey!
pre-chorus
Marshall Applewhite
Why would he lie?
Marshall Applewhite
I’ll always be by your side
Marshall Applewhite
You’re the apple of my eye
Marshall Applewhite
chorus
Come to heaven’s gate
It’ll be so great
Come to heaven’s gate
Set the date
Come to heaven’s gate
Before it’s too late
The space ship will arrive on november 8th
spoken word
Ooh shoot I guess you're not supposed to put those sneakers in the washing machine. Don't worry, Rex will get everyone some new ones! I hope I won't be late for the meeting
verse
I'm so sorry Marshall
I failed you again
The only nike's I found
were second hand
Deep in the bargain bin
But I'm on my way
Oh I'm on my way
Ready to drink some vodka (yay!)
And get on that space ship today
Don't start without me!
pre-chorus
Marshall Applewhite
Why would he lie?

I’ll always be by your side
Marshall Applewhite
You’re the apple of my eye

Come to heaven’s gate
It’ll be so great

Aw shucks! Not again! This is Jonestown all over again isn't it?
