Oscar The Angel
Oscar was an angel and he used to walk the streets Shoutin' out some prophesies at everyone he'd meet He was a local fixturelike a cop out on a beat Folks said he'd been shell shocked long ago And more than that for no one seemed to know
Oscar was a walkerat least four miles twice a day The entire length of Main Street he'd be shoutin' all the way And I had no idea where he heard the things he'd say But he was not your normal voice of doom It was a happy song, sung slightly out of tune
And he'd say, 'Everyone will die and go to heaven And we will all be angels someday And what you are in this world don't count for nothin' 'Cause we are only children, we're just lost along the way But we will all be angels someday'
Well, I worked at the RialtoI sold tickets at the door And Oscar, he'd come by most everyday by half past four And he'd pay to see some movie That he'd seen ten times before But mostly we'd just let him in for free Then he'd watch five minutes Then he'd come and talk to me
And he'd say, 'Everyone will die and go to heaven And we will all be angels someday Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com And what you are in this world don't count for nothin' 'Cause we are only children, we're just lost along the way But we will all be angels someday'
Well, it's going on ten years now Since I left my hometown And I went back last summer For a week I hung around I looked out for Oscar, he was no where to be found And someone said they finally had to commit him And he died before they had time to forget him
Now, I'm not about to argue Oscar's train had jumped the track But I'll bet my last dollar on the plain and simple fact Oscar never said a word about me behind my back And the way that I was raised to understand Well, that bone, it makes him the better man
And he'd say, 'Everyone will die and go to heaven And we will all be angels someday And what you are in this world don't count for nothin' 'Cause we are only children, we're just lost along the way But we will all be angels someday'
Yeah, we will all be angels someday
