Lyrics

The angels weep with ecstasy
The dead man takes his usual seat
Aboard the London bus he always rides
He died in 1952 before teenagers ruled the world
Before the glitterati stole the stage
The angels thought it strange he'd lost his way
They gave the earth a wider berth
Upon their mothership they roam
The universe in search of souls to save
They built a pyramid on Mars
When they descended from the stars!
All the Martian life forms were amazed
The angels packed their bags and flew away
The little dog laughed to see such fun
When the cow jumped over the moon again
The dead man was mortified
The angels flew their way back home
Upon their mothership they roam
The universe in search of souls to save
They built a pyramid on Mars
When they descended from the stars!
The angels thought it very strange
He'd lost his way
All the Martian life forms were amazed
The dead man takes his seat
On the bus he rides
The angels weep with ecstasy!
(la la la la la la la la la la la woah-ohh)
The angels thought it strange
He'd lost his way
Angels are in search of souls to save
The dead man likes to hide his age
From the glossy gossip trade
All the tock tick lurkers on parade
He rides the number 73
Goes round and round the mulberry tree
From side to side, back again endlessly
Vile rumors of imposter syndrome
The question is Are we alone?
The Pope is on the pope-o-phone
Debating if space angels can be saved
They built a pyramid on Mars
When they descended from the stars!
