I heard an angel sing hey-hey-hey
Made your Jesus and Mary ch-ch-chain
She was loaded and knocked out on the marble tiles again

I put an angel to sl-sl-sleep
major feelings of feelings went cr-cr-creep
I was watching her kung-fu through the darkness and the dreams

I wonder why she's so fragile and I wonder why she never smiles
she's the saddest music in the world tonight

She had a fever burn-burn-burn
Holy watering eyeballs churn-churn-churn
She was violently comatose - the best part of the day

Several hours went by-by-by
She crawled out from the blankets and sigh-sigh-sighed
She clambered into purgatory once the sun went down

I wanted to help so badly
But my help just prolonged her descent
She's the saddest music in the world tonight

So long, farewell
May I see you when it's over

Good night, good luck
I hope it all works in your favor

So long, old friend
Take my words and think them over

So long, farewell
You're the saddest music in my world tonight
