Arch Angel

Somedays, I wish the world away
I want to wash away the subtleties
And burn away the Christmas Tree,
Best friends (like Michael)
Sometimes steal the gifts they give
He used to chase me round from London town
Christmas Day, New York, Paris, LA
Someday

He's an angel with a dirty face
Sneaks away to smoke a girt (cigarette)
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 someway (arch angel)

Somedays, I wish the world away
I want to wash away the subtleties
And burn away the Christmas Tree,
Best friends (like Michael)
Sometimes steal the gifts they give
He used to chase me round from London town
Christmas Day, New York, Paris, LA
Someday

Christmas day we were the best of friends
Remember we fucked up the gravy (lumpy)?
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 (daddy)
But the Christmas song just left your head
And you flew away with a broken wing, your way (arch angel)

Somedays, I wish the world away
I want to wash away the subtleties
And burn away the Christmas Tree,
Best friends (like Michael)
Sometimes steal the gifts they give
He used to chase me round from London town
Christmas Day, New York, Paris, LA

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 super sonic sword.

Somedays, I wish the world away
I want to wash away the subtleties
And burn away the Christmas Tree,
Best friends (like Michael)
Sometimes steal the gifts they give
He used to chase me round from London town
Christmas Day, New York, Paris, LA
Someday
