Three angels set the table for me tonight   They know my face, they set a place and it's for me tonight   Well, I can't disappoint 'em, I guess I'll join 'em      They've been waitin' on me forever   And I've been down on earth and in this town   And I swear there's got to be somethin' better      New suit and a new tie   A real nice service for me when I die   New suit, cuff links and a new tie   A real nice service for me when I die      Well, that's the thing about leavin'   When you get there, you're seldom forgiven   And all your best friends are people that you've just met      You can take 'em or leave 'em   Well, they're sittin' in this barroom   And I guess it beats the hell out of loneliness   Sweet loneliness, sweet loneliness      You say, you gave it, gave it all away   You've got nothin', nothin' left to trade   I hear you say, you gave it, gave it all away   You've got nothin', nothin' left to trade      We're the type, we live and learn   Scatter my ashes then you smash the urn   Into a broken room with 25 doors that you can't open   And each time you open one the other 24 they're explodin', explodin'      That's the thing about leavin'   You get there, you take what you're given   All your best friends are people you've just met      You can take 'em or leave 'em   Well, they're sittin' in this barroom   I guess it beats the hell out of loneliness for you   Loneliness for you, loneliness for you, alright      New suit, a new tie   A real nice service for me when I die
