Harps And Angels Lyrics - Harps & Angels - Randy Newman

Hasn't anyody 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 me 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 

Oooh 

Yes, it was harps and angels 

Harps and angels coming near 

I was to sick to roll over and see them 

But I could hear them singin ever so beautifully 

in my ear 

Photos 

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 ben a good man 

You ain't been a bad man 

But you've been pretty bad 

Lucky for you this ain't your time 

Someone very dear to me has made another 

clerical error 

And we're here on a bit of a wild goose chase 

But I want to tell you a few things 

That'll hold you in good stead when it is your time 

So you better listen close 

I'm only going to say this once 

When they lay you on the table 

Better keep your bussines clean 

'Fore they lay you on the table 

Better keep your business clean 

Don't want no back stabbing, ass grabbing 

You know exactly what I mean 

Alright girls - we're outta here" 

Ooooh 

"Encore. Encore." 

Ooooh 

(He spoke French) 

"Tres bien 

Encore" 

And off they went into the night 

Almost immediately I felt better 

And I come round to see you boys 

'Cause you know we ain't living right 

And while it was fresh 

I wanted to tell you what he told me 

He said, "When the lay you on the table 

Better keep your business clean 

When they lay you on the table 

Better keep your business clean 

Else there won't be no harps and angels 

coming for you 

It'll be trombones, kettle drums, pitchforks, 

and tambourines." 

Sing it like they did for me one time 

Ooooh - yes 

Ooooh - beautiful 

Wish I spoke French 

So actually the main thing about this story is for me 

There really is an afterlife 

And I hope to see all of you there 

Let's go get a drink
