Oscar was an angel and he used to walk the streets Shoutin' out some prophecy to everyone he'd meet He was a local fixture; like a cop out on a beat Folks said he'd been shell-shocked long ago And more than that, no one seemed to know Oscar was a walker, at 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'd 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 Chorus: And he'd say, "everyone will die and go to heaven and we will all be angels some day 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 some day" Letras de cancionesWell I worked at the Rialto; I sold tickets at the door And Oscar he'd come by most ev'ryday 'bout 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 And he'd watch five minutes, then he'd come and talk to me Repeat Chorus Well it's going on ten years now since i left my home town And i went home last summer; for a week i hung around I looked out for Oscar; he was nowhere to be found 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 tracks But i'll bet my last dollar on a plain and simple fact Oscar never said a word about me behind my back And the way the I was raised to understand Well, that bone, makes him the better man Repeat Chorus: Ya, we will all be angels someday From Letras Mania
