Three Angels

Three angels set the table for me tonight They know my face, they set a place, and it's for me tonight Well, I can't disappoint 'em, I guess I'll join 'em They've been waitin' on me forever And I've been down on earth and in this town And I swear there's got to be somethin' better New suit and a new tie A real nice service for me when I die New suit, cuff links and a new tie A real nice service for me when I die But that's the thing about leavin' Well, you get there, you're seldom forgiven And all your best friends are people that you've just met You can take 'em or you leave 'em Well, they're sittin' in this barroom And I guess it beats the hell out of loneliness Sweet loneliness, sweet loneliness You say you gave it, gave it all away But you've got nothin', nothin' left to trade I hear you say you gave it all away You've got nothin', nothin' left to trade We're the type, we live and learn Scatter my ashes then you smash the urn Into a broken room with 25 doors that you can't open And each time you open one, the other 24 they're explodin', explodin' That's the thing about leavin' Well, you get there, you take what you're given All your best friends are people you've just met You can take 'em or you leave 'em Well, they're sittin' in this barroom I guess that beats the hell out of loneliness sweet Loneliness sweet, loneliness sweet Alright New suit, a new tie Real nice service for me when I die
