harps and angels

hasn't anybody seen me lately

i'll tell you why

hasn't anybody seen me lately

i'll tell you why

i caught something made me so sick

that i thought that i would die

and i almost did too

first my knees begin to tremble

my heart begin to pound

first my knees begin to tremble

my heart begin to pound

it was arrhythmic and out of tune

i lost my equilibrium

and fell face down upon the ground

as i lay there on that cold pavement

a tear ran down my face

'cause i thought i was dying

you boys know i'm not a religious man

but i sent a prayer out just in case

you never know

lo and behold almost immediately

i had reason to believe my prayer had been heard in a very special place

'cause i heard this sound

ooooh

yes

ooooh

yes

it was harps and angels

harps and angels coming near

i was too sick to roll over and see them

but i could hear them singing ever so beautifully in my ear

then the sound began to subside

and they sounded like background singers

and a voice come down from the heavens above

it was a voice full of anger from the old testament

and a voice full of love from the new one

and the street lit up like it was the middle of the day

and i lay there quiet and listened to what that voice had to say

he said

you ain't been a good man
