Lyrics

Miserable Souls

He: I'm just a miserable soul
'Cause I'm stuck here waiting for someone to be told
I'm far too important to be left here just to sit
I must say my first impression of this place is that it's xxxx

She: I'm just a miserable soul
I miss my daughter, up here on my own
As if that weren't heartache enough, I'm stuck here with this man
It really doesn't seem too fair - oh, heaven just be damned

She2: You think you're a miserable soul?
Why don't you try going through life all alone?
My co-dependent nature cries and my heart just bleeds
When I see the man I love not getting what he needs

All 3: We're just miserable souls, here outside the pearly gates guarded by some troll
This should be a no-brainer, the stuff made of dreams
Oh, heaven help us, Paradise is not all that it seems
We're just miserable souls
Miserable, miserable souls

He2: I'm just a miserable soul
Pissed off 'cause I never got the chance to grow old
I'd have been a great old geezer, a smelly gross old man
An embarrassment to all my brats,
Oh, Hades just be damned

She3: I'm just a miserable soul
Can't believe I'm stuck here in this God-forsaken hole
Spending time with yet another dull, obnoxious twit
Surrounded by these idiots, this hell is Holy sxxx

He3: Another miserable soul, just the devil's lackey, doing what I'm told
In life I was a loser, a whiner, and a sap
Why can't I ever catch a break?
This dying thing is crap

All: We're just miserable souls
Sitting round the campfire, listing all our woes
If misery loves company, then why are we so glum?
That weasly, measly Beasly's got us all under her thumb
We're just miserable souls
Miserable, miserable souls
