Aziraphale:
A toast to the world
That survived
From your best friend
Who is always by your side
To the future
And the things we never tried
May we always
Be satisfied
Rewind, rewind...
I remember that night I just might
Recall that night for the rest of my days
I remember Adam and Eve
Leaving Eden for good, my sword ablaze
I remember the coming thunderstorm
Like a dream that you can't quite place
But my dear Crowley, I'll never forget
The first time I saw your face
I have never been the same
Those slitted gold eyes and a serpentine frame
And when you said hi I forgot my dang name
Set my heart aflame
Every part aflame
This is not a game
Crowley:
What's so bad
In a hunger for some knowledge that's satisfied
Aziraphale:
We shouldn't question God above
We may not know why
Crowley:
I still ask
I'm never satisfied
Aziraphale:
Is that right?
Crowley:
I'm not one to be satisfied
Aziraphale:
My name is Aziraphale, East guard
Crowley:
Crawley, Serpent sent by Hell
Aziraphale:
What will you do next?
Crowley:
Make some trouble, after all that is what I do best
So just you wait, just you wait
Aziraphale:
So, so, so
So this is what it feels like to wonder
Should I have got creative, if an angel can blunder
We reach a conclusion that seems sensible
But the Great Plan is not accessible
Ineffable
The conversation lasted two minutes, maybe three minutes
And we reached an unexpected agreement, it's
The gleam there in his lighthearted glance
His love of the garden and of all of its plants
He's a bit of a flirt but Imma give him a chance
I asked about the right thing and did like his answer
But he asked the opposite, he looked askance
The same as me he's flying by the seat of his pants
We are stationed as agents
To fight and thwart through the ages
I am committed to obey, help this race
Never looking from the path of grace
But we're here
So long
Just each other for
So long
And I've known him for
So long
And I realize
Three fundamental truths over the course of time
Crowley:
Where are they taking them?
Aziraphale:
God's about to drown all life
Crowley:
That's more a thing we would do
Aziraphale:
Number one
As an angel it's strange to think
A demon might be the most in sync
It's only us on Earth so I'm the one
Who has to stop what crime he's done
Though he seems caring and the wittiest
The intention of his work really is insidious
We both are natural-born enemies
So, I cannot like him or forget unease
I would never help you
There will be no Arrangement
Crowley:
You're sure?
Aziraphale:
Not ever
Number two
He could want this 'cause tempting me, an angel
Would elevate his status, I'd
Have to be naive to set that aside
Maybe that is why
I act like I could never like a
Life at his side
Nice going Aziraphale, you're like him
You will never be satisfied
What does the J there stand for?
Crowley:
It's just a J but if you do not like it
I could quickly change it
Aziraphale:
No don't, I like it
Number three
And then he miracles the books to be fine
They had slipped my mind while I kept the blast from us combined
And I realize I love him but I have to be resigned
Can't be mine
Pull back every time
Always hiding
But since we both survived the fight
There's something in his eyes
We come to compromise, more like than not
And I see he tries to go less quickly
The truth at last can rise, we can start
And I can keep his eyes in my heart
To the world
We survived
From your best friend
Who is truly on your side
To our future
And the things we haven't tried
We can always
Be satisfied
And I know
I'll be happy at his side
And I know
We can finally be satisfied
I can finally be satisfied
