Gonna close my eyes
Girl and watch you go
Running through this life darling
Like a field of snow
As the tracer glides
In its graceful arc
Send a little prayer out to ya
‘cross the falling dark

Tell the Reaper man
And the stars above
That you’re the one I love
yeah

Perfect summers night
Not a wind that breathes
Just the bullets whispering gentle
‘mongst the new green leaves
There’s things I might have said
Only wish I could
Now I'm leaking life faster
Than I'm leaking blood

Tell the reaper man
And the stars above
That you’re the one I love
You’re the one I love
The one I love


Don’t see Elysium
Don’t see no fiery hell
Just the lights up bright baby
In the bay hotel
Next wave coming in
Like an ocean roar
Won’t you take my hand darling
On that old dance floor

We can twist and shout
Do the turtle dove
And you’re the one I love
You’re the one I love
The one I love

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elysium

A beautiful meadow in Homer where the favored of Zeus enjoy perfect happiness. By the time of Vergil, the Elysian Fields had been located in the Underworld as the home of the dead who were judged worthy. In the Aeneid, those blessed dead compose poetry, sing, dance, and tend to their chariots. Aeneas talks to Anchises in the Elysian Fields in Book VI of the Aeneid.

In Greek mythology, mortals who had proven themselves worthy in life went to the Elysium Fields after their death. This was paradise, a beautiful meadow where the favored of the gods enjoyed perfect happiness.
