$5.75 - MC Lars

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

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 from 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 heavens gate

And don’t forget the fare that it cost to ride the comet

Mark Twain 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

Nike Decades on their feet, purple shrouds on every face

It was the story of the year, Heaven’s Gate

People made jokes, we wrote a parody

Hmm Bop 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 a time 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

'Cause the Hale-Bopp charter cost a nomial fee

I guess even in death, nothing is free
