Who asked you to come here Who thought it'd be fun In this land of practical misery Where Nicholas drowned And Lucy went blind And Rita's lucky just to sell her tears Whose idea was it To give you new life In Theresa's garden Where flowers sprout rotten Then pick you And let you drift In Christopher's moody winds Peter would lend you a home But he dropped his keys somewhere Then went to get a drink with Jude Did they mean to make you cry Or wanted to see the world burn? Yet there are those sinners among us Who question it all And think just maybe They knew what they were doing When Lazarus died for good It could be That it was all on purpose That you were on purpose Necessary even Our very own Patron Saint of Second Chances

Requiem for the Saints
Who asked you to come here Who thought it'd be fun In this land of practical misery Where Nicholas drowned And Lucy went blind And Rita's lucky just to sell her tears Whose idea was it To give you new life In Theresa's garden Where flowers sprout rotten Then pick you And let you drift In Christopher's moody winds Peter would lend you a home But he dropped his keys somewhere Then went to get a drink with Jude Did they mean to make you cry Or wanted to see the world burn? Yet there are those sinners among us Who question it all And think just maybe They knew what they were doing When Lazarus died for good It could be That it was all on purpose That you were on purpose Necessary even Our very own Patron Saint of Second Chances
