I Waited My Whole Life For This?

 
 
The Song:

To make it feel more authentic, Beck filled out his Song Reader book with fragments of songs and melodies, and even fictional album collections and made-up song titles. The back of "Heaven's Ladder" lists a collection of "songs from the afterlife" called Ye Midnight Stars, and this is one of the songs on it.

Many of the titles on Ye Midnight Stars are humorous phrases involving death, heaven, gospel music, etc. This one is one of those, a play on frequent sentiment of gospel music -- being eager to get to heaven.
