Arch Angel

Some days I wish the world away I wanna wash away the subtleties, burn away the Christmas tree Best friends sometimes steal the gifts they give He used to chase me round from London town Christmas Day, New York, Paris, L.A., some day He's an angel with a dirty face Sneaks away to smoke a girt What a break from a brutal life Stole everything but genius What's he like? Is he real? Hold on I don't think I want to know the answers Often think with a drink in my hand That you knew your words would be appreciated some way Some days I wish the world away I wanna wash away the subtleties, burn away the Christmas tree Best friends sometimes steal the gifts they give He used to chase me round from London town Christmas Day, New York, Paris, L.A., some day Christmas Day we were the best of friends Remember we fucked up the gravy Hadn't seen such a smile on your face Since we harmonized a little Bing Crosby 10 Days later your girl says yes I can't live without you, you're my man But the Christmas song just left your head And you flew away with a broken wing, your way Some days, I wish the world away I wanna wash away the subtleties, burn away the Christmas tree Best friends sometimes steal the gifts they give He used to chase me round from London town Christmas Day, New York, Paris, L.A., some day Disarray, you just disappeared Now I find out you're a super hero reborn All your life was to be special and adored Children need you as you are Fighting evil with your supersonic sword Some days, I wish the world away I wanna wash away the subtleties, burn away the Christmas tree Best friends sometimes steal the gifts they give He used to chase me round from London town Christmas Day, New York, Paris, L.A., some day
