I Could Have Been An Angel Lyrics

Jesus and the Devil spent forty days
Trying to figure out how they got this way
Talkin' about how you fall from grace
In the first place

Devil said "I didn't ask for this
Yeah, I'm not some kind of masochist
Nobody plans to be an anarchist
Oh, and if I could change"

"I was a baby, just like you
I had a soul, shiny and new
There was a ghost in my machine
He got hungry and I got mean
Lucky you, you got the halo
You know I could have been the angel
You could have the Devil"

"Give me what you got and please don't run
I really don't want to hurt no one
Just put in the bag and drop the gun
Nice and slow"

The clerk said "Take anything you need
Just give me one thing before you leave Tell me how a man becomes a thief
I gotta know"

He said "I was a baby, just like you
I had a soul, shiny and new
But I had a ghost in my machine
He got hungry and I got mean
Lucky you, you got the halo
You know I could have been the angel
You could have the Devil"

"Oh, could have been an angel
You could have been the Devil
You should have been the Devil"

"Cause I was a baby, just like you
I had a soul, shiny and new
I had a ghost in my machine
He got hungry and I got mean
Lucky you, you get a halo
You know, I could have been the angel
You could have the Devil"

"Oh, you know I could have been an angel
You could have been the Devil
You should have been the Devil"
