[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

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 comeback gonna come your way“

What if I pray?

[Verse 3]

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?

[Chorus]

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 comeback gonna come your way“

He never could resist a sinner or ignore a distress call

But such a fall
