The Celestial Shuttle

Not long ago I went through the gate of dreams I came to the famous City of Destruction Where now a shuttle runs to the Emerald City With air miles and big group reductions So I went to the ticket office where Evangelist sat And reserved seats through credit card calls I said ' How does it feel now they changed your job?He said 'Now I don't feel anything at all As we moved off I looked down on the Myre of Despair From a bridge that passed a thousand miles above Its legs were made of books that they'd thrown into the mud And the books were of philosophy and love As we reached the Hill of Difficulty, we waited for a climb They'd dug a tunnel through the center of the stone And with the excess rock, well the valley became landfill Where once you'd had to walk down there alone All aboard, all aboard the Celestial Shuttle For a journey free of care, for a journey free of trouble All aboard, all aboard the Celestial Shuttle For all those who seek the truth but don't have the time to get there Don't have the time to get there The train ride felt so smooth that I put my feet up Barely noticing the motion of the carriage The stewardess was Prudence with her sister Charity For fifteen grand they'd sell their hands in marriage And just as we were entering the Valley of Death
