Lyrics: Robert Hunter?
Music: Mickey Hart
One of the new songs introduced by the
Mickey Hart Band in 2011. I've seen the title listed as both "No One Wants To Die" and "Everybody Wants To Go To Heaven".
This is a first shot at the lyrics, from an audience tape - any help gratefully
received.
You walk hand in hand with the sun
Among the fields of ancient [?]
The dance concludes where the dance began
End of the universe, hand in hand
Call into sacred, fall into rhythm
Lover, betray me, the sky feeling
The dance resumes where the dance began
End of the universe, hand in hand
One thing always troubled me
Can you tell me why
Everybody wants to go to heaven
No one wants to die
All this follows from first command
Step into the light, hold out your hand
Angels sent where the daylight dawns
[Bosses] swing and the stars respond
Music beyond the billion space
Only the flutes of the sun can chase
The rival tone before time began
Stuck like a thorn in the foot of man
One thing always puzzled me
Can you tell me why
Everybody wants to go to heaven
No one wants to die
I said no one wants to die
I said no one wants to die
No one wants to die
The lights, the lights, the glorious sight
Eve of creation in the forest of night
Ocean of music, the chants on the throne
The writer of rhythm in the mountains of tone
I said the lights, the lights, the glorious sight
Eve of creation in the forest of night
Ocean of music, the chants on the throne
The writer of rhythm in the mountains of tone
One thing always puzzled me
Can you tell me why
Everybody wants to go to heaven
No one wants to die
One thing always puzzled me
Can you tell me why
Everybody wants to go to heaven
No one wants to die
Everybody wants to go to heaven
No one wants to die
I said no one wants to die
No one wants to die
