The Guardian Angel by The Retrospective Soundtrack Players Lyrics
So I had few drinks in the evening
The chaos started in the afternoon
Must be worse than I thought
Swear there's some old man here in my room
[Clarence]
My name's Clarence, your guardian angel
I'm here to warn you of what is to come
You'll see three ghosts tonight
On each chime of the clock after one
Well I am a man of science, my friend
There's some reason for your ghostly form
Either that absinthe's to blame or I'm going insane
I just wish that I'd never been born
[Clarence]
For thе past few years you've been ungratеful
You're self-centered and selfish and cold
And you're gonna get worse
As you get stressed and tired and old
[Clarence]
Have you forgotten the two of your classmates?
That you sat with when you were in school
Haven't made it this far
Yet you still walk 'round acting the fool
Listen, old man, you're barking up quite the wrong tree
Go find some other loser to warn
The world's such a big place, it won't miss this one face
I just wish that I'd never been born
I must say you look rather absurd, ghost
Coming here begging down on your knees
You're some hallucination
Or half-digested piece of cheese
[Clarence]
Sticks and stones can't hurt me, I've no body
I'm an angel in need of his wings
And I'll be on my way
Once I've shown you a few simple things
Listen, six billion people today walk the earth
When I die there'll be two billion more
Let's decrease the surplus population by one
I just wish that I'd never been born
I just wish that I'd never been born
The chaos started in the afternoon
Must be worse than I thought
Swear there's some old man here in my room
[Clarence]
My name's Clarence, your guardian angel
I'm here to warn you of what is to come
You'll see three ghosts tonight
On each chime of the clock after one
Well I am a man of science, my friend
There's some reason for your ghostly form
Either that absinthe's to blame or I'm going insane
I just wish that I'd never been born
[Clarence]
For thе past few years you've been ungratеful
You're self-centered and selfish and cold
And you're gonna get worse
As you get stressed and tired and old
[Clarence]
Have you forgotten the two of your classmates?
That you sat with when you were in school
Haven't made it this far
Yet you still walk 'round acting the fool
Listen, old man, you're barking up quite the wrong tree
Go find some other loser to warn
The world's such a big place, it won't miss this one face
I just wish that I'd never been born
I must say you look rather absurd, ghost
Coming here begging down on your knees
You're some hallucination
Or half-digested piece of cheese
[Clarence]
Sticks and stones can't hurt me, I've no body
I'm an angel in need of his wings
And I'll be on my way
Once I've shown you a few simple things
Listen, six billion people today walk the earth
When I die there'll be two billion more
Let's decrease the surplus population by one
I just wish that I'd never been born
I just wish that I'd never been born
