Lyrics Prefab Sprout

Prefab Sprout

Michael

All the jobs I've ever held, positions I have known

The one I was a fool to leave was right hand to the throne

Ambition took me speed of light to God's exclusion zone

Michael, if you're listening, Michael who stayed true

One of us got out of line when paradise was new

One of us was exiled and the one who wasn't's you

Michael, help me write a letter to you know who

I will sign it 'Lucifer regrets'

Can't forget, his final words were

"Ain't no come back, gonna come your way"

What if I pray?

Michael, the archangel listen, Michael, don't you see?

We've come to stand for principles that prove free will is free

If you are on the side of good, now where does that leave me?

Michael, help me write a letter to you know who

I will sign it 'Lucifer regrets'

Can't forget, his final words were

"Ain't no come back, gonna come your way"

He never could resist a sinner

Or ignore a distress call but such a fall
