Listen and make your own on Suno.
I kept staring at doors with that sign on there . First thought was thats kinda rude .Employees Only . What are you special ? I can never turn this writing songs off
(Verse 1)
There’s a burnin’ red sign on the edge of town
Says “Employees Only” when the sun goes down
Bartender’s missin’ two fingers and an eye
Says, “Boy, you don’t belong where the fallen angels hide
”There’s a waitress named Mercy with a snake tattoo
Pours bourbon like she’s got nothin’ left to lose
She whispered, “Heaven ain’t what the preachers claim”
“Half the saints in here don’t even use their names
(Chorus)
Employees only, heaven closed at ten
Backdoor full of broken wings and washed-up men
Halo on the coat rack, sins out on patrol
Everybody clockin’ in to save their soul
Yeah, the good Lord’s work gets lonely
At a bar called Employees Only
(Verse 2)
Saw Saint Peter smokin’ by the ice machine
Talkin’ bad deals and old Marines
Archangel Michael lost a fight last spring
Now he sweeps the floor and don’t say anything
Girl in the corner singin’ Patsy Cline
Voice smooth as smoke and cheap red wine
She said, “Darlin’, grace is hard to hold”
“When your heart gets bought and sold
(Chorus)
Employees only, heaven closed at ten
Backdoor full of broken wings and washed-up men
Halo on the coat rack, sins out on patrol
Everybody clockin’ in to save their soul
Yeah, redemption ain’t free and holy
At a bar called Employees Only
(Bridge)
No dress code for the damned tonight
Just scars, bad luck, and neon light
If angels walk among us still
They’re probably drinkin’ somewhere against their will
(Final Chorus)
Employees only, last call on the bell
Some work for heaven, some work for hell
But everybody’s tired underneath their skin
Tryin’ to outrun where they’ve been
Yeah, even angels get lonely
At a bar called Employees Only
