lyrics

You told me you heard, a symphonic record
and there were Angels on the sleeve
You told me you cried and the words of Isiah
rang out inside your sleeping heart
Wake Up!

Now it's 4 a.m., and you've gone to visit your friend
The morning DJ was surprised
He said where have you been
with that crown of pigeon feathers?
You said I've been set free, but he knew something was wrong
he said please...

Do what is good for you,
what is good for you, may not be good for everyone
Do what is good for you, good for your wife and your son

I got you a job, out past issaquah
You climbed the ladder, paintbrush in hand
The lady got scared, said you look awful shaky up there
you said, If I fall the Angels will catch me!

She said, I don't believe in angels
and I think it's time for you to go now
so that's what he did.
Now Joe the Lion sleeps tonight.

Your ten year old son is sitting at home with his football
and if he bites you
it's because he is like you
Joe says please...

Do what is good for you,
what is good for you, may not be good for everyone
Do what is good for you, good for you
You are my very loved son
