The little boy at the airport waving his father goodbye
The lover in the bedroom saying, "I'm sorry I lied. "
The small plastic window fills with iridescent light
The devil and an angel in their eternal fight

What a wonderful life
What a wonderful life
What a wonderful life
What a wonderful life

The spider in the kitchen trying to stay out of the cold
The pale girl in the bathroom
Wearing her grandmother's gold
The church bells are ringing, somebody must have died
The eyes of the animal, frozen in the headlights

They're saying, oh, what a wonderful life
What a wonderful life
What a wonderful life
What a wonderful life

The skinhead in the handcuffs blowing his mother a kiss
The student at the protest wiping the blood off her lips
The fireworks exploding, the clock strikes midnight
And I'm sat here watching gripping the wheel so tight

What a wonderful life
What a wonderful life
What a wonderful life
What a wonderful life, oh

And St. Peter's calling
And St. Peter's calling
And St. Peter's calling
And I don't wanna die
Die
No, I don't wanna die
