 Three angels settin 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 been waitin on me  forever
And  I been down, on  earth and in this town
 And I swear  there's gotta be something better
 (intro x 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.
Well  that's the thing about livin,
 When ya get  there, you're seldom forgiven.
And  all your best friends are people  that you just met.
 You can take  em or you leave em,
 Well they're sittin  in this barroom,
 And I guess  that beats the hell outta,
loneliness,  sweet  lonliness,  sweet  lonliness.
 They say ya gave it, gave it all away,
Well  you got nothin, nothin left to trade.
I  hear you sayin,  I gave it all away,
you've  got nothin, nothin left to trade.
 (same pattern as first verse)
 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 open.
 And each time you open one, the other 24, they're explodin, explodin.
 (same as above)
 That's the thing about livin, when you get there you take what you're given
 And all your best friends are people you just met.
 You can take em or you leave em, they're sittin in this barroom,
 but I guess that beats the hell outta lonliness,
 sweet  lonliness,  sweet  lonliness,  sweet
New  suit,  new tie,  a real nice service for me  when I die.
