Lyrics
Shiny cars full of my family and friends
Shiny cars filled with my family and friends
A parade in my name
A parade is being held in my honor
There I lay in my best black suit
I am lying in my best black suit
Painted smile on my face, I must be thinking of you
I wear a painted smile, possibly thinking of someone
And the angels they called down for me
Angels are calling down for me
But I didn’t want to hear what they were saying
I resist listening to what the angels are saying
And the angels played their trumpets just for me
Angels play trumpets specifically for me
But I couldn’t catch the tune they were playing
I struggle to grasp the melody they are playing
This sacred place is full of yesterday’s faces
The sacred place is filled with faces from the past
There’s my name carved in stone
My name is carved in stone
A circle of friends are looking down at me
A group of friends observes me from above
As the preacher man says a few words about me in vain
The preacher speaks words about me, possibly in vain
Now I feel I am slipping away
I feel myself slipping away
And the angels they called down for me
Angels continue to call for me
But I didn’t want to hear what they were saying
I resist hearing their message
And the angels played their trumpets just for me
Angels play trumpets for me again
But I couldn’t catch the tune they were playing
I still struggle to understand their tune
Beautiful places and faces
Reference to beautiful places and faces
Beautiful places and faces
Reiteration of the beauty in places and faces
Beautiful places
Emphasis on beautiful places
Beautiful faces
Emphasis on beautiful faces
And the angels they called down for me
Angels call down for me once more
But I didn’t want to hear what they were saying
I resist hearing their message again
And the angels played their trumpets just for me
Angels play trumpets for me once again
But I couldn’t catch the tune they were playing
Continued struggle to understand their tune
Shiny cars full of my family and friends
Shiny cars again, full of family and friends
A parade in my name
Another parade in my name
