Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Three angels setting a 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 waiting on me forever
And I've been down on earth and in this town
And I swear there's gotta be something better
[Verse 2]
New suit, and a new tie
A real nice service for me when I die
New suit, cufflinks, and a new tie
A real nice service for me when I die
[Verse 3]
Well that's the thing about living
When you get there you're seldom forgiven
And all your best friends are people that you just met
You can take 'em or you leave them
But they're sitting in this bar room
And I guess it beats the hell out of loneliness
Sweet loneliness
Sweet loneliness
[Verse 4]
Let's say you gave it
You gave it all away
Well you got nothin'
Nothin' left to trade
And here you say it
You gave it all away
You got nothin'
Nothin' left to trade
[Verse 5]
We're the type
We live and learn
Scatter my ashes then you smash the urn
Into a broke room
With twenty-five doors that you can't open
And each time you open one
The other twenty-four, they're exploding
Exploding
[Verse 6]
That's the thing about living
When you get there, you take what you're given
All your best friends are people you just met
You can take 'em or you leave 'em
Whether they're sitting in this bar room
I guess that beats the hell out of loneliness
Sweet loneliness
Sweet loneliness
Sweet
Alright
[Verse 7]
New suit
A new tie
A real nice service for me when I die
