Role Call

Lyrics

[Verse 1] When they call the roll up yonder, don't be late Just like Christmas Day When all the patron saints walk hand in glove With their patron dates I'm afraid you'll have to see the boss upstairs He wants to ask you 'bout some things You really, really wouldn't want to get out of here Just tell Him anything [Pre-Chorus 1] Now I've got my just deserts Nobody deserves this Nobody deserved us Nobody can find me on the absentee list [Chorus] Where the angels fear to tread Where it goes straight to your head And you're left for dead Well, I wish I was [Post-Chorus] I wish I wasn't me I wish I was, but I wish I wasn't [Verse 2] I just want an air-conditioned space All expenses paid I just want a cherub's pudgy face So I could get my way I'm afraid you're gonna have to split some hairs Get out the inquisition chair You may not ever ever get out of here Just tell him anything [Pre-Chorus 2] All my answers are rehearsed We didn't rehearse this We didn't coerce this We didn't file the proper green slips [Chorus] Where the angels fear to tread Where it goes straight to your head And you're left for dead Well, I wish I was When they call the roll up yonder When they pile up all the dirt Where you're lost in the paperwork I wish I was [Post-Chorus] Oh, I wish I wasn't me [Solo] [Verse 3] So when they call the roll up yonder, don't be late They won't sit and wait There'll be free receptional champagne But you got the combo plate Go see the big guy upstairs I'm not gonna enjoy this I'm not getting nervous I'm not gonna need the extra towels and nurses [Chorus] Where the angels fear to tread Where it goes straight to your head And you're left for dead Well, I wish I was When they call the roll up yonder When they pile up all the You don't know the meaning of paperwork I wish I was [Post-Chorus] Oh, I wish I wasn't me How I wish I was, but I wish I was I wish I wasn't I wish I was I wish I wasn't I wish I was I wish I was
