[for my friend far away]
I can feel your sorrow here
While you're far away
Reading your virtual tears
Things, words can not say
I try to draw a helping hand into your mind
We are much stronger now to fight with Father Time
You don't have to break down crying on your knees
Let me sing these words to forget all your fears
You, you don't have to lose the faith to carry on
Lock my voice into your heart - the pain has gone
Tears of thousand angels guide your way
Let them take your aching soul away
Open up your tired troubled heart
Let the angels give you a new start
Time is ticking in your head
This world is too slow
Try to close your worn out eyes
Just let yourself go
Try to understand my words:
"It's all just a game"
Let the angels sing their songs
And we will meet again
You don't have to break down crying on your knees
Let me sing these words to forget all your fears
You, you don't have to lose the faith to carry on
Lock my voice into your heart - the pain has gone
Tears of thousand angels guide your way
Let them take your aching soul away
Open up your tired troubled heart
Let the angels give you a new start
Angels cry
Close your eye
Clear your mind
Don't look behind
All the things I've done before this
They don't mean a thing
And all the words spoken before this
Won't be said again
Suddenly, so much of me
Has no need to pretend
There's nothing like the truth
To bring her back to you
And everyone I've met before this
Ain't seen me with you
Angel, angel, angel
Angel, my angel, my angel
You're the only one
Who knows what I go through
Sometimes you even feel it
More than me, baby
And I don't know how
I ever got by without you
There's nothing like the truth
When you've got nothing left to do
And every night I thank the universe
That I found you
Angel, my angel, my angel
And I don't have to wonder
What the world thinks about me
I know you're in my corner
You're always surrounding me
With your love, baby, oh, angel
And if we all explode
You see, we would never know
But I just told the pieces of my soul
Reach out to you, to find my angel
Angel, my angel
Angel, my angel, my angel
Angel, my lovin' angel
Keep calling me, angel
Keep calling me, angel
Angel, keep calling, angel
Keep calling, angel
another holiday from all the vampires
and all the sycophants caught on the highwire
so sexy, sexy babe you know i need some
to pass the time away to get relief from
all this life that's filled with wanton tragedy
just like a runaway with no escape zone
you'd think i'd find a way you'd think i'd fake one
but all my life's been filled with wanton tragedy
where's my angels i'm a naked soul
where's my angels i'm a naked soul
so just for heaven's sake i'll try to face this
it's just a chance you take to get a last kiss
so sexy, sexy babe you know i need some
to pass the time away to get relief from
all this life that's filled with wanton tragedy
where's my angels i'm a naked soul
where's my angels i'm a naked soul
now don't you hide from me
don't you hide from me
don't you hide from me
all my life's been filled with wanton tragedies
where's my angels i'm a naked soul
where's my angels i'm a naked soul
now don't you hide from me
don't you hide from me
don't you hide from me
don't you hide from me
please don't
Lookin' back, the day you left
Where you went, I can only guess
Where I'll be, some other day
A memory, with all I had to say
You gave the love, you had to spare
And in return, I built an island there
When I dream, I see your face
That's when we laugh, somewhere in outer space
The angels over me have seen me cry in agony
The angels over me they all believe this side of me
Growin' up, without a cause
I hear the tune, of my own applause
There ain't no right, when there's a wrong
It's my mistake, I knew it all along
I've been a fool, what's done is done
I can't erase, and I refuse to run
I'm beggin' you, to please forgive
My heart is true, it's just the way I live
The angels over me have seen me cry in agony
The angels over me they all believe this side of me
They've seen me cry! (x3)
The angels over me have seen me cry in agony
They've see me cry!
The angels over me they all believe this side of me
Nothings left here but he sun
The human race i on the run
The ancient gods should have told
The earth has never felt this old
Countdown has begun
Apocalypse has got a son
Angels
Flying over the land of blood
Angels
Warriors that Heaven forgot
Read my bloodstained apoca-lips
21st century son of a bitch
Speaking with the mouth of a whore
Riding with the horsemen of four
Countdown has begun
Apocalypse has got a son
Angels
Flying over the land of blood
Angels
Warriors that Heaven forgot
Angels
Didnt come here for you and me
Angels
Why did you leave us here in misery
Me and some of the boys were sitting around the other night
Started talking about politics, religion, love and life
And what a shame it was about 9/11
And what about hell and what about heaven
And is there or isn't there angels on earth
And then one guy said
Well you can take that for what it's worth
If it's something I can see or something I can touch
Well I might believe in all that stuff
So I just had to say to him
Are you telling me that you've never seen an angel?
Never felt the presence of one standing by?
No robe of white
No halo in site
Well you missed the most obvious thing
Man, are you blind?
Just look in your mothers eyes
And then I said who went through the pain
And smiled through the tears on the day of your birth?
She counted your fingers and toes and thank god you were whole
Son you outta know who loved you first, that's right
And who always came running everytime you cried out
And how many more things have you forgotten about
And who tried their best to teach you wrong from right
And how many nights did she leave on the light
While she waited and prayed that you came in
And who'd be there for you right up to the end
Think about it tonight
Are you telling me that you've never seen an angel?
Never felt the presence of one standing by?
No robe of white
No halo in site
Well you missed the most obvious thing
Aww Man, are you blind?
Just look in your mothers eyes
Aww Man, are you blind?
Just look in your mothers eyes
That's right
We're standing on a hill
You and me
Touched by god
Love is our armory
Love is our armory
You hold my hand
Lights from above
Flowers around us
They bow for our love
Birds are singing
In the sky
Give me your hand
We have to go
Into the wasteland
We are the last defenders
Our wings spread wide
You pressed my hand
Our fate is to fight
They can`t tear us apart
The sky is fading to grey
Tears in our eyes
Tears in our eyes
We are walking over skeletons
We are praying for another day
We are passing recent battlefields
Our love can't force this storm away
Don't send me roses send me fire
fill me up I'm falling more than I fell before
Save your scars don't leave them burning
take your time don't wait for the rest to come
& come on love we can face another day
I can hear the angels coming to chase the night away...
Easy now & watch for warning
close your eyes & wait for the light to shine
we can take it all together
take my head & give it to a stranger
So come on love we can face another day
Could be she got lost
Or maybe she just watched
A little too much TV
It's hard to say, but anyway,
It's plain to see
And so she goes on
Like a drifting satellite
But tonight
Chorus:
Angels hold her hands
When she walks in the dark
Angels hold her hands
When she's falling apart
God could keep his own half-acre
She'd move on
And make another way of her own
And now she feels
She's gained the wheels
But never control
And so she fades out
Like a missing satellite
But tonight
Repeat Chorus
Bridge:
And wherever she goes
Angels follow
Angels hold her hands
When she walks in the dark
Angels hold her hands
When she walks away
I sit and wait
Does an angel contemplate my faith
And do they know
The places where we go
When we're grey and old
'cause I've been told
That salvation lets their wings unfold
So when I'm lying in my bed
Thoughts running through my head
And I feel that love is dead
I'm loving angels instead
And through it all she offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Wether I'm right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life won't break me
When I come to call she won't forsake me
I'm loving angels instead
When I'm feeling weak
And my pain walks down a one way street
I look above
And I know I'll always be blessed with love
And as the feeling grows
She breathes flesh to my bones
And when love is dead
I'm loving angels instead
And through it all she offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Wether I'm right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life won't break me
When I come to call she won't forsake me
I'm loving angels instead
And through it all she offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Wether I'm right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life won't break me
When I come to call she won't forsake me
Angels, angels
They didn't want to be but suddenly they're free
Angels, angels
I hear them in the trees and I wish that one was me
I watch clouds roll overhead
No, it's me that moves instead
Round and round, and round
Clouds are faces I can see
I can see they're seein' me
I can tell 'cause we know each other well
We know each other well
Angels, angels
I hear them in the trees, I wish that one was me
Angels how high have you been?
Since you left this world I'm in
And what did you see 'bout me?
Will my time go very far?
Does love reach up where you are?
Then take it along, I pay you for your songs
Can I go? Can I go along?
Angels, angels
They didn't want to be but suddenly they're free
Angels, angels
I hear them in the trees and wish that one was me
I wish that one
If it's not that far from where we are
I'd like to wait if I could
Until the day that the angel comes around
I won't find the solace that I'm seeking
You can't make me run, you can't make me free
The only thing I trust is what's inside of me
If I rely on you what am I gonna do
When you crush and kill the core connecting us
Protecting us, in all we go through
So sad and hard it hurts for awhile
I feel it all... stop feeding off me
Don't ask me how you will survive
Or try to stay together amputated
Is this my conviction... will it last forever?
Do I belong to this?
Don't try to make me love, 'cause you can't make me see
The only time I'll know is when happiness is free
I won't rely on you...
'cause that won't get me through
All we've got is this crazy core connecting us
I saw you down the darkened stairway
Contending through the hazy eyes of life
I try to run but I hear it calling
The sound of hearing angels cry
I know that deep inside is where I'll stay
Where I'll remain
I don't know the word regret
But there's something that I heard that I won't forget
Not unless
To stand outside and lie
Make sure the truth, it doesn't show
Making sure that you don't know
Pretending that the lines are broke
To see the angels cry
You've got to harden yourself
Like no other hand been dealt
I swear I saw that pain
Coming form it like I'll never see again
I know that deep inside is where I'll stay
Where I'll remain
Don't know the word regret
But there's something that I heard that I won't forget
Angels fly around her heart
"Love can heal" they softly call
When trouble comes to the ones she loves
Her angels come
They ease all suffering
They heal all pain
Her angels come like healing rain
Love and angels conquer all
Like rain her healing angels fall
Love and angels conquer all
Her healing angels softly call
"Amen"
Call a truce, call a war
Everyone is a bastard, everyone is a whore
Everyone is a saint, everyone is redeemed
Everyone is at the mercy of another one's dream
She eases suffering
Heals the pain
Her angels come like healing rain
Love and angels conquer all
Like rain her healing angels fall
Love and angels conquer all
Her healing angels softly call
"Amen"
"Aaa-men"
Late at night when dreams are kings
I got nervous about what dark brings
I call her name
She pulls me tight
She whispers, "Everything's all right"
She eases suffering
Heals all pain
Her angels come like healing rain
Love and angels conquer all
Like rain her healing angels fall
Love and angels conquer all
Her healing angels softly call
"Amen"
Call a truce, call a war
Everyone is a bastard, everyone is a whore
Everyone is a saint, everyone is redeemed
The Angels are on T.V. tonight
Grey puke, celluloid shit
The army have sent a mission to Ireland
Just to see to it
Kojack is on the streets again
Grey puke, fucking shit
The army say the seek peace in Ireland
And they'll see to it
Chorus That they keep in line, horizontal hold
Keep in line, vertical hold
Keep in line, brightness
Keep in line, contrast
Keep in line, VISION ON
Coronation Street is on twice a week
Grey puke, fucking shit
The army say they seek peace in Ireland
And they'll see to it
The army are on the news report
REAL WAR. BULLETS. DEATH
They're beating fuck out of someone they caught
Just to see to it
The touch of your hand, will let me know
You take me in, and let me go
If not for love, why would we meet
How is it done, two into one
CHORUS:
We're lifted up by angels
Higher than the world
Strong enough to leave it
Bound to leave the secrets
Angels never heard
We're lifted up by angels...
You understand, yet never say
How every plan would fade away
If not for love, where would you be
Ashes to dust, water to rust
Away from me
(chorus)
Close enough to heaven
Above the rain
Darkness cannot reach us
Let the angels teach us
Only love remains
We're lifted up by angels
Given wings to fly
Leave the night behind us
Trust the light to find us
Even as we rise
We're lifted up by angels ...
Close enough to heaven
Above the rain
Darkness cannot reach us
Let the angels teach us
Only love remains
(chorus)
Our fantasy, a story-book that never ends
The greatest gift but we can't hold in our hands
The gate to mystical dimensions and to things that live in dreams
Gives us the chance to leave our path and that much further than it seems
There's more behind than we imagine a secret realm of space and time
It is beginning without end until the day we die
What is inside a dead man and his restless mind
A genius state, just dead life suffering from time?
Into oblivion he drowns a lurking flame inside still glows
The physical death means no end existence are we allowed to give new life
An endless dancing on a thin edge until the day we die
Technical development gives no-one the right to act godsent
Another holiday from all the vampires
And all the sycophants caught on the highwire
So sexy, sexy babe you know i need some
To pass the time away to get relief from
All this life that's filled with wanton tragedy
Just like a runaway with no esace zone
You'd think i'd find a way you'd think i'd fake one
But all my life's been filled with wanton tragedy
Where's my angels i'm a naked soul
Where's my angels i'm a naked soul
So just for heaven's sake i'll try to face this
It's just a chance you take to get a last kiss
So sexy, sexy babe you know i need some
To pass the time away to get relief from
All this life that's filled with wanton tragedy
Where's my angels i'm a naked soul
Where's my angels i'm a naked sould
Now don't you hide from me
Don't you hide from me
Don't you hide from me
All my life's been filled with wanton tragedy
Where's my angels i'm a naked soul
Where's my angels i'm a naked soul
Now don't you hide from me
Don't you hide from me
Don't you hide from me
Don't you hide from me
The salty air of July '96
I bought a 12 speed just to impress a chick
Back in '96
We’re eating ice cream at the docks
You let it drip all down your chin
You want me to lick it off
I rode my bike all night just to see you
Across the bridge outside of Pt. Pleasant
In the night
People would say "There’s that boy, there’s that boy again!"
There’s that boy in the night
People would say "There’s that boy in the night."
The summer breeze of August '96
I spent my nights out late at night a bit
For the hell of it
She’s two years older than myself
Sandy hair with the face of an angel
Dancing all by herself
By 9 PM we were fixed on the boardwalk
Promises brooding with doubt and resilience
What a beautiful night
People would say "There’s that boy and that girl again!"
"There’s those two in the night!"
People would say "There’s that boy in the night."
I don’t believe we ever spoke again
The summer flames of 1996
Now smoldering ashes
People would say that they had someone like that
To love only at night
Sometimes really all
It looks like some Chagall
I close my eyes and
Disappear for a while
And the world is falling
Slowly out of view
While the angels are singing
They are
Yeah the angels are singing
Me home
3 o'clock in the morning
And I'm feeling no pain
From way up here really
It sure all looks the same
And the stars are spinning
Like pinwheels in the sky
While the angels are singing
They are
Yeah the angels are singing
Me home
I think I'll hang around a little longer
Just close my eyes
And float away to nowhere
And I wonder if I'll ever
Get used to this life
I've been living
While the angels are singing
They are
Yeah the angels are singing
Me home
Home
She sang like an angel
To the chattering plates
But your pimp and your pusher
You both thought were great
Well, you earned enough money
To pay for your stuff
It's great having brown skin
It doesn't show up
You sang like an angel
To the chattering cups
At the end of the day
You weren't tough enough
Your pimp and your pusher
Well, they beat you up
Well, it's great having brown skin
It doesn't show up
Well, your voice became sand-paper
Sand-paper worn
As your heart, it was broken
Your heart, it was torn
And when you died
The police all queued up
It's great having brown skin
i never thought i'd leave you
i cherished the day i found you
oh i'm just a little naïve i can't live with or without you
i know that nothing's perfect you can't say the words to keep me here
i needed some comfort but love leaves again
baby don't tell me it's alright when everything's all so wrong
i can't stop thinking about you
can somebody hear me
calling all little angels
'cos i'm in trouble again
so i'm calling all little angels
if there's anybody out there
oh i need a friend
i think good things about you
all the time that i'm without you
oh i'm just a little confused
say you love me won't you
and i know that it's not easy
you can't say the words i need to hear
i need some comfort and love leaves again
baby don't tell me it's alright when everything's all so wrong
i won't stop thinking about you
can somebody hear me
calling all little angels
'cos i'm in trouble again
and i'm calling all little angels
if there's anybody out there
oh i need a friend
we could get high
we could be anything we want to be
we could reach for the sky
so why?
you could have told me that heaven would only help me this time
i'm calling all little angels
'cos i'm in trouble again
and i'm calling all little angels
if there's anybody out there
calling all little angels
'cos i'm in trouble again
so i'm calling all little angels
if there's anybody out there
oh i need a friend

I sit and wait
Does an angel contemplate my fate?
And do they know the places where we go
When we're gray and old?
'Cause I've been told
That salvation lets their wings unfold
So when I'm lying in my bed
Thoughts running through my head
And I feel that love is dead
I'm loving angels instead
And through it all she offers me protection
A lot of love and affection, whether I'm right or wrong
And down the waterfall wherever it may take me
I know that life won't break me
When I come to call she won't forsake me
I'm loving angels instead
When I'm feeling weak
And my pain walks down a one way street
I look above
And I know I'll always be blessed with love, oh
And as the feeling grows
She breathes flesh to my bones
And I feel that love is dead
I'm loving angels instead
And through it all she offers me protection
A lot of love and affection, whether I'm right or wrong
And down the waterfall wherever it may take me
I know that life won't break me
When I come to call she won't forsake me
I'm loving angels instead
Through it all she offers me protection
A lot of love and affection whether I'm right or wrong
And down the waterfall wherever it may take me
I know that life won't break me
When I come to call she won't forsake me
I'm loving angels instead, oh
I'm loving angels instead
I sit and wait
Does an angel contemplate my fate
And do they know
The places where we go
When we're grey and old
'cos I have been told
That salvation lets their wings unfold
So when I'm lying in my bed
Thoughts running through my head
And I feel the love is dead
I'm loving angels instead
And through it all she offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether I'm right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life won't break me
When I come to call she won't forsake me
I'm loving angels instead
When I'm feeling weak
And my pain walks down a one way street
I look above
And I know I'll always be blessed with love
And as the feeling grows
She breathes flesh to my bones
And when love is dead
I'm loving angels instead
And through it all she offers me protection
A lot of love and affection

When I come to call she won't forsake me

And through it all she offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether I'm right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life won't break me
When I come to call she won't forsake me
I'm loving angels instead
She laughs when she wants to cry
She smiles but she doesn't know
Why the world takes it's toll on her
I try and talk some sense to you
But only you can help yourself to
Understand what's going on
Angels don't come here often
Angels don't usually soften the fall
Do you think you can help me
Do you think I'll find some freedom
Do you think life's just one big struggle
Or are there little angels looking after me
You fill your days with triviality hoping
That it's just what you want to be
But the truth keeps circling you
Just take a jump you maybe the fool
But I guarantee the empress looks after you
She'll never let you fall apart
Angels do come here often
Angels do usually soften the fall
Yes I think I can help you
Yes I know you'll find some freedom
Yes I think life's just one big struggle
But there are many angels looking after you
Yes I think I can help you
Yes I know you'll find some freedom
Yes I think life's just one big struggle
But there are many angels looking after you
Looking after you, looking after you
Looking after you
Angels
Angels
Looking after
Looking after you
Sparkling angel I believed
You are my savior in my time of need
Blinded by faith, I couldn't hear
All the whispers, the warnings so clear
I see the angels, I'll lead them to your door
There's no escape now, no mercy no more
No remorse 'cause I still remember
The smile when you tore me apart
You took my heart, deceived me right from the start
You showed me dreams, I wished they turn into real
You broke the promise and made me realize
It was all just a lie
Sparkling angel, I couldn't see
Your dark intentions, your feelings for me
Fallen angel, tell me why
What is the reason, the thorn in your eye?
I see the angels, I'll lead them to your door
There's no escape now, no mercy no more
No remorse 'cause I still remember
The smile when you tore me apart
You took my heart, deceived me right from the start
You showed me dreams, I wished they turn into real
You broke the promise and made me realize
It was all just a lie
Could have been forever
Now we have reached the end
This world may have failed you
It doesn't give you a reason why
You could have chosen a different path in life
The smile when you tore me apart
You took my heart, deceived me right from the start
You showed me dreams, I wished they turn into real
You broke the promise and made me realize
It was all just a lie
Could have been forever
Now we have reached the end
All shut up! Don't break the silence!
The sleep of angels prevents violence
Blades of angels will protect
Golden billion will dominate
Sleep sleep sleep
My fading world
Handmade angels keep us all
Dissipate
Your mad mad life
Angels still are on our side
Pray for peace - prepare for war
The base of human life is these words
Will to live
Will to survive
Will to rule and to divide
Stop right now
Reflect about
What you ll lose when last war start?
Work and house
Your credit noose
Think sometimes: what do they lose?
Angels of silence
Freedom and calm
Angels of justice
Fly one by one
Keep the silence, cold steel Angels
From second sunrise of innocence
Save from pain and torture, Angels
Keep the peace for human race
5 4 3 2 1 Start the Angels
Angels of silence
Bringers of peace
Angels of justice
LIGHT REFLECTS FROM YOUR SHADOW
IT IS MORE THAN I THOUGHT COULD EXIST
YOU MOVE THROUGH THE ROOM
LIKE BREATHING WAS EASY
IF SOMEONE BELIEVED ME
THEY WOULD BE
AS IN LOVE WITH YOU AS I AM
THEY WOULD BE
AS IN LOVE WITH YOU AS I AM
THEY WOULD BE
IN LOVE, LOVE, LOVE
AND EVERYDAY
I AM LEARNING ABOUT YOU
THE THINGS THAT NO ONE ELSE SEES
AND THE END COMES TOO SOON
LIKE DREAMING OF ANGELS
AND LEAVING WITHOUT THEM
AND LEAVING WITHOUT THEM
BEING
AS IN LOVE WITH YOU AS I AM
BEING
AS IN LOVE WITH YOU AS I AM
BEING
AS IN LOVE, LOVE, LOVE
AND WITH WORDS UNSPOKEN
A SILENT DEVOTION
I KNOW YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN
AND THE END IS UNKNOWN
BUT I THINK I’M READY
AS LONG AS YOU’RE WITH ME
BEING
AS IN LOVE WITH YOU AS I AM
BEING
AS IN LOVE WITH YOU AS I AM
BEING
Wake me if you're out there!
Through the glass in my bedroom window,
In the bushes far below,
I thought I saw an unfamiliar shadow,
Among the ones I so clearly know.
I've been sleeping with the nightlight unplugged,
With a note on the rocking chair,
That says I'm dreaming of the life I once loved,
So wake me if you're out there.
Living close to the ground,
It's seventh heaven because there are angels all around,
Among my frivolous thoughts,
I believe there are beautiful things seen by the astronauts.
So wake me if you're out there!
Wake me if you're out there!
In the dust on my cellar staircase,
A pair of footprints followed me,
I saw a flicker in the fake fireplace,
Blinked again, but there was nothing to see.
I've been leaving all the windows unlocked,
With a basket by the oak tree,
'Cause I'll be picking up the acorns that fall off,
If you'll be climbing up to meet me.
Living close to the ground!
It's seventh heaven because there are angels all around,
Among my frivolous thoughts,
I believe there are beautiful things seen by the astronauts.
So wake me if you're out there!
I keep my knees black and blue 'cause they often hit the hardwood floor,
(Wake me if you're out there),
And I believe, so I'm not praying to the ceiling anymore,
And I've been sleeping with the nightlight unplugged,
With a note on the rocking chair that says I'm dreaming of the life I once loved,
So wake me if you're out there.
Living close to the ground!
It's seventh heaven 'cause there are angels all around,
Among my frivolous thoughts,
I believe there are beautiful things seen by the astronauts!
The indications reveal,
(Wake me if you're out there),
That few of us realise life is quite so real,
So if you're dying to see,
I guarantee there are angels around your vicinity!
So if you're dying to see,
Angels
Words and Music by Marty Sampson
The holiest place there could ever be
All you can do is bow
Before the one who made heaven and earth
Before the Almighty God
For Him alone
Sing with the angels
Sing with the angels
Singing the name of the lord
Singing the name of the lord
For every soul
He gave it all
Given for all of mankind
Eternal life is His alone
Given to all who believe
In Him alone
Jesus...
Jesus...
Jesus...
The holiest place there could ever be
All you can do is bow
Before the one who made heaven and Earth
Before the Almighty God, for Him alone
Sing with the Angels
Sing with the Angels
Singing the name of the Lord
Singing the name of the Lord
For every soul, He gave it all
Given for all of mankind
Eternal life is His alone
Given to all who believe in Him alone
Jesus, Jesus
I sit and wait does an angel contemplate
My fate and do they know the places
Where we go when we're gray and old
'Cos I have been told that salvation, lets their wings unfold
So when I'm lying in my bed, thoughts running through my head
And I feel that love is dead, I'm loving angels instead
And through it all she offers me protection, a lot of love and affection
Whether I'm right or wrong and down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me, I know that life won't break me
When I come to call, she won't forsake me, I'm loving angels instead
When I'm feeling alone and my pain walks down
Down a one way street, well I look above
And I know that I'll always be blessed with love
As the feeling grows
She breathes flesh to my bones and when love is dead
I'm loving angels instead
And through it all she offers me protection, a lot of love and affection
Whether I'm right or wrong and down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me, I know that life won't break me
When I come to call, she won't forsake me, I'm loving angels instead
And through it all she offers me protection, a lot of love and affection
Whether I'm right or wrong and down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me, I know that life won't break me
Well, I'm going down the street
Going to see Sadie
To let her know she's my baby
And I'm tired of the games she's been playin' on me
Well, I maybe young
And foolish inside
But, I'm the one and I've got my pride
And here tonight love's gonna be alright
Well, come on little baby
Come on out and see
There's the whole wide world
Waiting on you and me to Hell, you'll see
We ain't got to worry tonight
We ain't got to run, it's alright
They don't let
No, angels out at night
Na, na, na, na, na
We ain't got to worry tonight
We ain't got to run, it's alright
They don't let
No, angels out at night
Na, na, na, na, na
You said "I got a chance, reaching your hands"
And I ain't the one
Gonna end up your man
But, there's one thing that you gotta understand
That my love is real, baby, my love's true
Maybe it don't mean that much to you
But here tonight
Our love is gonna see us through
Well, come on little baby
Come on out and see
There's the whole wide world
Waiting on you and me to Hell, you'll see
We ain't got to worry tonight
We ain't got to run, it's alright
They don't let
No, angels out at night
Na, na, na, na, na
We ain't got to worry tonight
We ain't got to run, it's alright
They don't let
No, angels out at night
Na, na, na, na, na
Well, come on little baby
Come on out and see
There's the whole wide world
Waiting on you and me to Hell, you'll see
We ain't got to worry tonight
We ain't got to run, it's alright
They don't let
No, angels out at night
Na, na, na, na, na
We ain't got to worry tonight
We ain't got to run, it's alright
They don't let
No, angels out at night
Na, na, na, na, na
No, angels out at night
No, angels out at night
No, angels out at night
Oooh Woahoh
Would I fight with an angel
Would I leave here with you
Or would I take it all back if
If I find something new?
I know there's something out there
I know there's something I fear
Run away from here
I know there's something more to this
In this dark room, nothing that shines
Run away from here
Would I fight with an angel
Would I leave here with you
Or would I take it all back if
If I find something new?
I'm falling, I am down
I've fallen, are you around?
And I know it's you
I'm leaving, I'm with me
I'm leaving, tell me the truth
And I know it's you
Will I fight with an angel
Will I leave here with you
Will I take it all back if
If I find something new
Would I fight with an angel
Would I leave here with you
Would I take it all back if
If I find something new
Oooh Woahoh (Repeat x15)
Would I fight with an angel
Would I leave here with you
Would I take it all back if
If I find something new
Would I fight with an angel
Would I leave here with you
Would I take it all back if
If I find something new
Yeah
Will I fight with an angel
Will I leave here with you
Will I take it all back if
If I find something new
Yeah
Would I fly with an angel
(Fly with you...)
Would I leave here with you
(Fly with you...)
Would I take it all back if
(Fly...)
If I find something new
(Fly...)
Did it ever cross your mind
to leave the world behind
take a walk with friends
no longer alive
When the days they pass you by
like the clouds run through the sky
you're in your heart
still wondering why
No more playgrounds
no more laughter in the sun
Hard times will come
marching feet and men with guns
this time we need
angels to protect our homes
.one for every house
No more playgrounds
no more laughter in the sun
Hard times will come
marching feet and men with guns
I sit and wait
Does an angel contemplate my fate
And do they know
The places where we go
When we're grey and old
'Cause I have been told
That salvation lets their wings unfold
So when I'm lying in my bed
Thoughts running through my head
And I feel the love is dead
I'm loving angels instead
And through it all she offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether I'm right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life won't break me
When I come to call, she won't forsake me
I'm loving angels instead
When I'm feeling weak
And my pain walks down a one way street
I look above
And I know I'll always be blessed with love
And as the feeling grows
She breathes flesh to my bones
And when love is dead
I'm loving angels instead
And through it all she offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether I'm right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life won't break me
When I come to call, she won't forsake me
I'm loving angels instead
And through it all she offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether I'm right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life won't break me
When I come to call, she won't forsake me
There are no angels left in America anymore
They left after the Second World War heading west
Stopping briefly in Japan during the 60's
Then in Tianamen Square during the last decade
They kept heading west to who knows where
What are they after?
What are they looking for?
A messiah who never comes?
A virgin birth?
A perfect drug?
A sign, any kind of sign?
Anything that looks slightly out of the ordinary
Flying over fields and factories
Momma's going off her head
Daddy's bringing home the bacon
Open up the pearly gates
Fruit of salty lubrication
Tangled up in arms and legs
I can barely touch the bottom
Now I'm working up a sweat!
I'm ready now
I'm ready now
I can barely touch my own self
How could I touch someone else?
I am just an advertisement
For a version of myself
Like molecules in constant motion
Like a million nervous tics
I am quivering in anticipation
Like the sunlight on their wings
I'm ready now (don't look back)
I'm ready now (I'm ready for this)
I'm ready now
The sensuous world - the smell of the sea
The sweat off their wings - the fruit from the trees
The angel inside - who will meet me tonight
On wings of desire - I come back alive
I'm ready
I'm ready (I put the dogs outside)
I'm ready
I'm ready (to take that ride)
I'm ready now
I'm ready now (to take that wine)
[Intro:]
"Check" "Check"
If I do not make it back to the comfort of
my house, understand that was Gods will 'n'
I've only lived this long because...
[Chorus:]
I've got angels lookin' over me,
protectin' me,
From people who wish death on me,
I've got tensions,
they constantly stressin' me,
People who'd love to see me restin' in peace,
But they don't matter, Naw...
I've got angels lookin' over me,
protectin' me,
From people who wish death on me,
I've got tensions,
they constantly stressin' me,
People who'd love to see me restin' in peace,
But they don't matter, Naw...
I've felt 'em around me since I was a kid,
I often wonder exactly who it is...
Is it Ernie, is it Ian, is it BoeBoe, is it Nate,
Is it, Kevin, is it Chapman, Is it Rog, is it Jay,
Is it pa, is it pops, is it pappy, is it mammy,
Is it someone from my crew, or someone from my family,
All I know is I wouldn't have made it this far,
Without those shining stars, 'n' I know who they are,
What they represents my people who passed on,
Five years, it don't even seem that long,
We made it baby,
I wish you was here with me,
Standin' on stage with me,'n' blowin' this haze with me,
But it can't be so I accept that, move forward,
To tomorrow, long live the desperado,
The big homie, the one that held it down,
Even though you underground, I can feel you above me,
Your like...
[Chorus]
Understand I've been blessed with the serenity,
To accept what I can't change 'bout my enemies,
But the devil tries to corrupt me,
I ain't no psycho, but don't push me,
Was we, trapped in a world we thought we'd wake up from,
It seems like a dream, but it seems so real,
Was it those pills, was it those drinks,
Was it that weed, was it just me,
Is this reality, that is what we goin' through
What you call overnight, we call overdue,
Easy way up boy, if you only knew,
I came up fucked up, from the same place as you,
Where bullets fly, 'N' people die,
Ambulances leave without 'em, Coroners pick 'em up,
You can buy the paper 'n' read about 'em,
Flip to the sports page, 'n' never even think about 'em,
Other people find it hard to live without 'em, Uhn..
[Chorus]
I'm the desperate souls,
Of a thousand old,
MC's who never had an album,
Go, gold or platinum,
They just rap for them, Fans,
That know the song like the back of their han's,
The ones that put Stak in demand,
Know that I'll never forget y'all,
Wouldn't be shit without y'all,
Now y'all say you the one that held me down,
Broke like a mother fucker underground,
Demo tapes, payin' dues,
Baby food, baby shoes,
Only way I made it way by the grace of God,
So God bless my family and God bless my squad,
We can't take no more loses, Nah,
Lose no more bosses, Nah,
What's this I hear about some fallin' off shit,
You think I'm really gonna retire,
I'm gonna let you wonder,
Until then just keep wishin' for incarceration or murder,
But I've got a presents around, that's why I don't wear a vest,
Not to mention, henchmen do not aim at your chest,
Death is inevitable, something you can't run from,
I'll come back 'n' look over some ye', some,
What...
[Diddy]
Uh-huh...
This that Dirty Money..
Uh-huh...
It's that Dirty Money
[The Notorious B.I.G.]
Uh, ain't no shook hands in Brook-land
Army fatigue -my fatigue, the enemies
Look man, you wanna see me locked up, shot up
Moms crotched up over the casket, screamin BASTARD
Cryin, know my friends is lyin
Y'all know who killed 'em filled 'em with the lugars from they Rugers
Or they Desert, dyin ain't the shit but it's pleasant
Kinda quiet, watch my niggaz bring the riot..
Uh, uh, uh...
It's that Dirty Money...
[Diddy]
Came from heaven just to sing a song for you...
To the rhythm of my love for you, and now it's beatin slow
And you know, this the ennnnd of the road
When I sing that slow song for you...
And love was nothin but another gun for you ('nother gun for you..)
And I would hide it in my helpless soul
I'm not afraid to go down the road where we go
I don't know, you can hear 'em callin, don't you?
When the angels call like..
[Chorus]
YOOOOOOOO-HOOO!
If you don't wanna stay you can GOOOOO-OHH...
It seems love don't live here no morrre...
The angels are flyin so low, singin to you
(Don't you hear me callin you?)
He's the one you love... ('cause I hear 'em callin me...)
And he's the one you trust... (...like our time is almost through)
Time is runnin out (There's nothin left to do)
When they're callin you...
When the angels call like.. (I answer)
[Diddy]
Falling....for you...
I will tell the angels, "No"
Let 'em turn back into stone
I doooo... (I do...) love you... (love you...)
It's true.... (It's true...)
Fire... climbing...
We ignore the angels' call!
They were warnings after all
It's cool... if I'm....
With you....
When the angels call like...
[Chorus]
YOOOOOOOO-HOOO!
If you don't wanna stay you can GOOOOO-OHH...
It seems love don't live here no morrre...
The angels are flyin so low, singin to you
(Don't you hear me callin you?)
He's the one you love... ('cause I hear 'em callin me...)
And he's the one you trust... (...like our time is almost through)
Time is runnin out (There's nothin left to do)
When they're callin you...
When the angels call like.. (I answer)
[The Notorious B.I.G.]
Uh, uh, uh
Ain't no shook hands in Brook-land
Army fatigue -my fatigue, the enemies
Look man, you wanna see me locked up, shot up
Moms crotched up over the casket, screamin BASTARD
Cryin, know my friends is lyin
Y'all know who killed 'em filled 'em with the lugars from they Rugers
Or they Desert, dyin ain't the shit but it's pleasant
Kinda quiet, watch my niggaz bring the riot..
Uh, uh, uh...
It's that Dirty Money...
[Diddy - outro (repeat 'til fade)]
If I know my angels, I know what they'd say
Be still my little butcher boy, you'll give us all away
Be still you wretched little freak, give us room to move
Give us milk, you little pig, we'll tell you when we're through
My love is like a mountain, her mouth is like a mine
Incubating diamonds, as we rise and shine, shine
Rolling over granite, there's a smell like cloves and clay
And if I know my angels, they'll take it all away
Can you get it?
Now I've sold my bread, to keep my spirits high
To keep some taste on my tongue, and my feelings dry
They'll have their fun and leave me, I'm like a stone without a weight
But if I know my angels, I'll fall just like a cane
Come on, lay your halo down
Well, angels, lay your arms around
Oh every city's seen the setting sun
Call 'em kicks, you know they just begun
So come on, lay your halo down
Oh, lady lady, don't let your worry please
Well you got something
and that ain't nothing to just let be
So why you kicking all those storms around?
And keeping fake down in the underground?
Oh come on, lay your halo down
So why you kicking all the rollies round?
And keeping fake down in the underground?
We won't call curtain
still we know that you have found...
Come on, lay your halo down
Angels, lay your arms around
Oh every city's seen the setting sun
Call em kicks, you know they've just begun
The touch of your hand will let me know
You'll take me in then let me go
If not for love why would we meet?
How is it turned two into one so easily?
We're lifted up by Angels
You understand, and you never say
How every plan could fade away
If not for love where would you be?
Ashes to dust, water to rust, away from me
We're lifted up by Angels
Higher than the world
Strong enough to leave it
Bound to learn the secret
Angels never hurt
Close enough to heaven
Above the rain
Darkness cannot reach us
Let the angels teach us
Only love remains
We're lifted up by Angels
Given wings to fly
Leave the night behind us
Trust the light to find us
Even as we rise
We're lifted up by Angels
We're lifted up by Angels
Higher than the world
Strong enough to leave it
Bound to learn the secret
That angels never hurt
We're lifted up by Angels
Above the rain
Darkness cannot reach us
Let the angels teach us
Only love remains
People stop fighting
Angels are crying
We can be better
Love is the answer
Search inside
Are there any more tears to cry
(Don’t you wonder why)
Why you feel so alone
All against the world
(World, world)
Search back time
When you used to sing alone
(To the music of your soul)
Song of faith you can change
It’s not too late
People stop fighting
Angels are crying
We can be better
Love is the answer
Search inside
Are there any more tears to cry
(Don’t you wonder why)
Why you feel so alone
All against the world
(World,world)
Search back time
When you used to sing alone
(To the music of your soul)
Song of faith you can change
It’s not too late
People stop fighting
Angels are flying
We can be better
Love is the answer
People stop fighting
Angels are crying
We can be better
Love is the answer
People stop fighting
Angels are crying
We can be better
Love is the answer
People stop fighting
Angels are crying
We can be better
Love is the answer
I sit and wait
does an angel contemplate my fate
And do they know
The places where we go
When we're grey and old
'cause I have been told
That salvation lets their wings unfold
So when I'm lying in my bed
Thoughts running through my head
And I feel that love is dead
I'm loving angels instead
And through it all she offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether I'm right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life won't break me
When I come to call
She won't forsake me
I'm loving angels instead
When I'm feeling weak
And my pain walks down a one way street
I look above
And I know I'll always be blessed with love
And as the feeling grows
She brings flesh to my bones
And when love is dead
I'm loving angels instead
And through it all she offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether I'm right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life won't break me
When I come to call
She won't forsake me
I'm loving angels instead
(Instrumental)
And through it all she offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether I'm right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life won't break me
When I come to call
She won't forsake me
Lord
won't you make it go away
i don't need it back some other day
i only think i'm tired
Lord
i am naked in these chains
don't let my doubt restrain me
i only think i'm tired
Lord
oh i once had bigger plans
i once held tender hands
but now the past just lies
Lord
oh i need to find a voice
i need to find a motivation
not to feel so tired
oh Lord!
angels
i see angels
falling at my side
angels
i see angels
falling at my side
and my eyes are open wide
and my arms no longer tied
an illusion has just died
When I dream, I get pictures of the world I've never seen
I'm playing parts upon the silver screen
I'm anything my dream wants me to be
The picture always ends with you and me
There are times that you need to look a little deeper down inside
You might not always like the things you find
You may find you're running out of time
But the truth is always there for you to find
There's an angel watching over me
We've got angels, the kind that
Burns and I can't see
There's an angel watching over me
When the nightmares come
And the hounds of hunt surround me
When the thick comes on
Let the devil sends his dogs to find me
When the nightmares come
And the hounds of hunt surround me
Let the thick come on
Let the devil sends his dogs to find me
When I dream, I get pictures of the world I've never seen
I'm playing parts upon the silver screen
I'm anything my dream needs me to be
The picture always ends with you and me
There's an angel watching over me
We've got angels the kind that
Burns and I can't see
There's an angel watching over me
There's an angel the kind that
Burns and I can't see
It keeps watching over me, watching you and me
Lloyd talking
Angels descending bring from above
Echos of mercy whispers of love
When hearts listens angels sing I
Never knew the feeling her love would bring.
Verse 1
Heaven put an angel at my side with
Wings like shelter in the night
Just hold me close for a little bit longer
Stay with me til the morning flight
Chorus
Maybe I'm a fool to fall for angels
Maybe I'm a fool to fall for angels
Maybe I'm a fool to fall for angels
Cause they always fly away
Verse 2
Fly away angel go be free
Won't you come back home and f**k with me
Hold me close for a little bit longer
Til heaven calls you away from me
Chorus
Bridge
Give me wings to fly away
Like Icarus I'm having a bad day
See your shadows on the sun
As you're flying far away
Chorus
The touch of His hand will let me know
He takes me in and lets me go
If not for love, who would believe?
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, in you and me
We're lifted up by angels
Higher than the world
Strong enough to leave it
Bound to learn the secrets
Angels never heard
Close enough to heaven
Far above the rain
Darkness cannot reach us
Let the angels teach us
Only love remains
We're lifted up by angels
To understand, yet never say
How every plan would fade away
If not for love, where would we be?
Ashes to dust, water to rust, eternally
We're lifted up by angels
Higher than the world
Strong enough to leave it
Bound to learn the secrets
Angels never heard
Close enough to heaven
Far above the rain
Darkness cannot reach us
Let the angels teach us
Only love remains
We're lifted up by angels
Given wings to fly
Leave the night behind us
Trust the light to find us
Even as we rise
We're lifted up by angels
Higher than the world
Strong enough to leave it
Bound to learn the secrets
Angels never heard
Close enough to heaven
Far above the rain
Darkness cannot reach us
Let the angels teach us
Only love remains
you used to call me different like there was something wrong
a vanishing of reason a soon forgotten song
you used to call me special when i was very small
but now i'm old i should have known
you don't call me any more
and every day you turn away from everything you know
and every night you fade your light soon you won't know where to go
angels calling at my door
i don't know what scares me more
going where they call me to
or staying on this world with you
you used to call me baby but now i'm fully grown
now you're old your eyes are cold and you are so alone
you don't believe your visions you don't believe your son
you don't believe in anything but what your hands have done
and every day you turn away from everything you've heard
and every night you close your eyes and hide your face from every word
angels calling at my door
i don't know what scares me more
going where they call me to
or staying on this world with you
don't you here my gentle voice i'm calling your name
only just a whisper but you know what i'm saying
you are worth so much to me much more than you know
all you've got to do is choose the way that you go
and when you're lost in me i will be found in you
and when i'm found in you the truth will set you free
don't you be so terrified i'll do you no wrong
i don't want to crucify but help you along
you've been losing out on so much more than you know
you've been choosing dangerous paths instead of my road
and when you're lost in me i will be found in you
and when i'm found in you the truth will set you free
angels calling at my door
i don't know what scares me more
going where they call me to
And with a wink
And a smile
Yuo toss your instructions on
How to catch a train
While it's moving
You always were the one
That kept us all guessing
How you could survive
The fall you had
From Medicine Men
To my DJ friends
They all have said
"he's got to watch his back"
They're Trapping Angels
By the Potomac
But it's not how you think
You'd be surprised
They Liberate
Your Dreamscape
Till you can't remember
To recall
Where your wings
Have gone
Tell me where they've gone
From Jordan to Chicago
Another child is born
Trusting that we'll get it
Right this time
I should've worn my glasses
You said just to trust
Then you chose
To sign the dotted line
From Modern Magdalenes
To my DJ friends
They all have said
"he's got to watch his back"
They're Trapping Angels
By the Potomac
But it's not how you think
You'd be surprised
They Liberate
Your Dreamscape
Till you can't remember
To recall
Where your wings
Have gone
Before I close my eyes
I can still you smilin'
Before the Truth was
Buried Alive
Did we prize it
Before you change the world
Maybe boy you should change
Your girl
They're Trapping Angels
By the Potomac
They're Trapping Angels
Lord I know this
They're Trapping Angels
By the Potomac
But we're getting closer
I said we're getting closer
To where they've gone
Tell me where gone
Angels falling through my hair
I want to leave them tomorrow
Angels falling through my hair
I want to meet them tomorrow
Angels falling through my hair
I wanna meet them tomorrow
Meet them falling through my hair
Verse:
Through dangers seen and unseen,
there's protection all around.
Under the refuge of God's wings,
security is found.
For there are angels
watching you to keep you in all of your ways,
keeeping you from stumbling,
so don't be afraid.
God's appointed angels watching over me,
angels watching over me.
Angels watching over me,
angels watching over me.
Unseen hands, guiding me,
through my storm and through my rain.
Healing hands, holding me,
through the darkness of my pain.
Wings of love encamped around me,
so I will not fear,
for I can feel thier presence hovering near.
Nothing but...
Angels watching over me
Angels watching over me
Angels watching over me
Angels watching over me
All night, all day,
angels watching over me my Lord.
All night, all day,
angels watching over me.
All night, all day,
angels watching over me my Lord.
All night, all day.
Angels watching over me,
angels watching over me.
Angels watching over me,
Angels watching over me.
Angels watching over me,
Angels watching over me.
Angels watching over me,
Angels watching over me.
Angels watching over me,
I sit and wait
Does an angel
Contemplate my fate?
Do they know
The places where we go
When we're gray and old
'Cause I've been told
That salvation
Lets their wings unfold
So when I'm lyin' in my bed
Thoughts runnin' through my head
And I feel that love is dead
I'm lovin' angels instead
And through it all
She offers me protection
A love and affection
Whether I'm right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life won't break me
When I come to call
She won't forsake me
I'm lovin' angels instead
When I'm feelin' weak
And my pain walks down
A one way street
I look above
And I know I'll always be blessed with love
And as the feeling grows
She breathes flesh to my bones
An' when love is dead
I'm lovin' angels instead
And through it all
She offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether I'm right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life won't break me
When I come to call
She won't forsake me
I'm lovin' angels instead
And through it all
She offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether I'm right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life won't break me
When I come to call
She won't forsake me
I sit and wait
does an angel contemplate my fate
and do they know
the places where we go
when we're grey and old
'cos I've been told
that salvation lets their wings unfold
so when I'm lying in my bed
thoughts running through my head
and I feel that love is dead
I'm loving angels instead
and through it all she offers me protection
a lot of love and affection
whether I'm right or wrong
and down the waterfall
wherever it may take me
I know that life wont break me
when I come to call she wont forsake me
I'm loving angels instead
when I'm feeling weak
and my pain walks down a one way street
I look above
and I know ill always be blessed with love
and as the feeling grows
she breathes flesh to my bones
and when love is dead
I'm loving angels instead
and through it all she offers me protection
a lot of love and affection
whether I'm right or wrong

On the clifftop,
Of the blessed,
He flaps his elbows and he
Wears a dress,
Soon he's flying,
Over town,
He sees the floods, the fires, he laughs,
Turning to the clouds,
They called him weak and they were wrong,
Cos Angel knows where he belongs.
Angels, angels,
Keep the angels off my back.
Angels, angels,
Keep the angels off my back.
So sue your baker,
Sue your tailor,
And your childhood sweetheart too,
And anyone who knows.
With wings of white and skin of blue,
Tomorrow belongs to you.
Angels, angels,
Keep the angels off my back.
I've got a message for you.
I've got a message for you,
All the tortured boys and girls,
Can go where he has gone.
Angels, angels,
Keep the angels off my back.
Angels, angels,
In a room without a window, your head starts caving in
Your mind takes you to places, that it's never been
In a house without a hallway, there's nothing more to see
Four walls full of pickup sticks and atrophy
Where the sun shines bright and I don't have to lock my door
Where the moon is full and I'm not tired, anymore
Where angels carry me along the way
Where I can close my eyes at night and pray
Where angels sit and watch me while I look up to the sky
Where angels carry me along the way
In a grave without a body, the worms lay all alone
This room is a tomb, it's my home
In a song without a meaning, your mind starts going blank
Send in reinforcements, we need a tank
Where the sun shines bright and I don't have to lock my door
Where the moon is full and I'm not tired, anymore
Where angels carry me along the way
Where I can close my eyes at night and pray
Where angels sit and watch me while I look up to the sky
Where angels carry me along the way
Spread your wings around me, take me higher into the air
Free prisoners from shackles, teach them they should not despair
In time we all will know, our destination, which way we will go
Where angels carry me along the way
Where I can close my eyes at night and pray
Where angels sit and watch me while I look up to the sky
The angels are watching over me, constantly they say
The angles are always close to me in every game I play
And if I win or lose...
I know they'll see me through
The angels watch my every move
Confused and lost, like there's no way out
Till I see a light, shining from above
So I raise my head, to salute the sky
And I feel that light, take my spirt high
The angels are watching over me, constantly they say
The angles are always close to me in every game I play
And if I win or lose...
I know they'll see me through
The angels watch my every move
I could close my mind, to a lot of things
But tonight's the night, for remembering
There's a place for me, on the other side
When they call my name, for that final ride
The angels are watching over me, constantly they say
The angles are always close to me in every game I play
And if I win or lose...
I know they'll see me through
I sit and wait, does an angel contemplate my fate
And do they know the places where we go
When we're gray and old, 'cause I've been told
That salvation lets their wings unfold
So when I'm lyin' in my bed
Thoughts runnin' through my head
And I feel that love is dead
I'm lovin' angels instead
And through it all
He offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether I'm right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life won't break me
When I come to call, he won't forsake me
I'm lovin' angels instead
When I'm feeling weak
And my pain walks down a one way street
I look above
And I know I'll always be blessed with love
And as the feeling grows
He breathes flesh to my bones
And when the love is dead
I'm lovin' angels instead
And through it all
He offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether I'm right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life won't break me
When I come to call, he won't forsake me
I'm lovin' angels instead
I'm lovin' angels instead
Oh, oh yeah
And through it all
He offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether I'm right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life won't break me
When I come to call, he won't forsake me
"Take this man to prison"
The man heard Herod say
And then four squads of soldiers
Came and carried him away
Chained up between two watchmen
Peter tried to sleep
But beyond the walls an endless prayer
Was lifting for his keep
Then a light cut through the darkness
Of a lonely prison cell
And the chains that bound the man
Of God just opened up and fell
And running to his people
Before the break of day
There was only one thing on his mind
Only one thing to say
Angels watching over me, every move I make
Angels watching over me
Angels watching over me, every step I take
Angels watching over me
God only knows the times
My life was threatened just today
A reckless car ran out of gas
Before it ran my way
Near misses all around me
Accidents unknown
Though I never see with human eyes
The hands that lead me home
But I know they're all around me
All day and through the night
When the enemy is closing in
I know sometimes they fight
To keep my feet from falling
I'll never turn away
If you're asking what's protecting me
Then you're gonna hear me say
Got His angels watching over me, every move I make
Angles watching over me
Angels watching over me, every step I take
Angels watching over me
Angels watching over me
Angels watching over me
Got His angels watching over me, every move I make
Angels watching over me
Angels watching over me, every step I take
Angels watching over me
Angels watching over me
Angels watching over me
Angels watching over me
Angels watching over me
Though I never see with human eyes
I believe in magic,
I believe in miracles.
Can it be you're an angel?
An angel in disguise.
It seems so easy,
You can hypnotise.
You can hypnotise.
I believe in magic,
I believe in miracles.
You drive me crazy,
Do you realise?
It seems so easy,
You can hypnotise.
She grew up with the Rolling Stones
Playing through her stereo phones
She lies in the bed
Wishing she was there at the show
Her daddy come home screaming again
Her mama fights back but she can't win
Daddy's little girl
The daughter of a street fighting man
She sings angels are coming to save me
Angels are coming to see me through
So take me away on your jet plane
Take me around the world
Cause ain't that what angels do
Ten years down the road
She got a job that she can't hold
She married to a man
He ain't worth a damn and she knows
She cries as she packs her bag
Finds an old record to scratch
She rolls though the den
Puts it on and spins through the past
She sings angels are coming to save me
Angels are coming to see me through
So take me away on your jet plane
Take me around the world
Cause ain't that what angels do
All right, yeaaaaaa
Yeaaaaaah
Angels are coming to save me
Angels are coming to see me through
So take me away on your jet plane
Take me around the world
Cause ain't that what angels do
She grew up with the Rolling Stones
Playing through her stereo phones
She lies in the bed
Outside a church on a Friday night
Saw the lights were on, so he stepped inside
Walked the straightest line to the nearest pew
Bowed his head and spoke to you
Said I know it's been a while and I must confess
That since our last talk I've become a mess
It's falling all apart, there's nowhere left to turn
Oh God, are you listening in the heavens tonight
And God, we need you more than ever tonight
So close your eyes and start to breathe
They're all around, do you believe
That angels fight to ease your worried heart
Keep whispering your broken prayers
They're reaching down to meet you there
And standing guard to walk you through the fear
I know angels are near
Turning off the lights, no peace at all
The pictures of her son hang on her wall
He's half the world away, gone to join the fight
He grew up overnight, she's proud of all he's done
But what's a mom to do when it's her only son
All that she can pray is that he makes it home alive
Oh God, she's looking to the heavens tonight
And God, she needs you more than ever tonight
In our life of joy and pain
Even when it's dark, still a light remains
You find it at a place where hope and fears align
If we close our eyes and start to breathe
They're all around, do you believe
That angels fight to ease our worried hearts
Keep whispering your broken prayers
They're reaching down to meet us here
And standing guard to walk us through the fear
I sit and wait
Does an angel contemplate my fate
And do they know
The places where we go
When we're grey and old
'cos I've been told
That salvation lets their wings unfold
So when I'm lying in my bed
Thoughts running through my head
And I feel that love is dead
I'm loving angels instead
Chorus
And through it all she offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether I'm right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life won't break me
When I come to call she won't forsake me
I'm loving angels instead
When I'm feeling weak
And my pain walks down a one way street
I look above
And I know I'll always be blessed with love
And as the feeling grows
She breathes flesh to my bones
And when love is dead
I'm loving angels instead
Chorus
And through it all she offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether I'm right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life won't break me
When I come to call she won't forsake me
I'm loving angels instead
The road is long and hard
and stays when I'm not there
because I'm giving all I am
but some want this
The nights are getting cold
I know that you don't care
I'm singing out this song
it's why hope and pray
shake is worst do your grave
well will you hear what I have to say
Chorus:
It's nothing left till is nowhere to hide
just change you feel like you're so all rise
but there's nothing at all your face
just prepare and never race
when all the walls you feel fall down
mirrors like there's no one around
I'll be there till the angels take your pace
And for fire float re-burst
I know the lesson life
it's all eternal way really worth it in the end
the smile the road is fake
how much more it take
till we find a place in the way
the way to throat against
take this words to your grave
when you hear what I have to say
[Chorus:]
I'll give it back if you give it to me
there's nothing left for me to be
and I'll take it back if you tear in the way
'cause I'll find the word to say today
[Chorus:]
Your pace, your pace, your pace,
give it back if you give it to me
I'll tell you back if you tear in the way
when all the walls you feel fall down
mirrors like there's no one around
CHORUS
I know angels don't fall that often
Baby I'll catch you catch you catch you
Before you hit the ground ooh
And I know angels don't fall that often
Baby I'll catch you catch you catch you
Before you hit the ground ooh
VERSE I
She's had her heart broken millions of times (oh yeah)
And now she looks for love wherever she finds (ooh oh)
I'm gonna take her tears and whisper in her ear
It's OK from here it's gonna be alright
PRE-CHORUS
'Cause she's coming down fast and someone's gotta break her fall
And a voice in the back of my head calls
CHORUS
I know angels don't fall that often
Baby I'll catch you catch you catch you
Before you hit the ground
And I know angels don't fall that often
Baby I'll catch you catch you catch you
Before you hit the ground
INTERLUDE
Oo-oo-oo-ooh oo-oo-oo-ooh
Baby I'll catch you catch you catch you
Before you hit the ground
VERSE II
I wanna take her frown turn it upside down (down)
I wanna show her the love she's been talking about
I ain't no superman but save her I can
So right here I'll stand as she comes crashing down (yeah)
PRE-CHORUS
'Cause she's coming down fast and someone's gotta break her fall
And a voice in the back of my head calls
CHORUS
I know angels don't fall that often
Baby I'll catch you catch you catch you
Before you hit the ground
And I know angels don't fall that often
Baby I'll catch you catch you catch you
Before you hit the ground
INTERLUDE
Oo-oo-oo-ooh oo-oo-oo-ooh
Baby I'll catch you catch you catch you
Before you hit the ground (yeah)
BRIDGE
Us crashing into each other like this
Could only mean explosions
So we can never not co-exist
Without feeling some sort of destruction oh
INTERLUDE
Oo-oo-oo-ooh oo-oo-oo-ooh
Baby I'll catch you catch you catch you
Before you hit the ground
Said oo-oo-oo-ooh oo-oo-oo-ooh
Baby I'll catch you catch you catch you
Before you hit the ground
CHORUS
I know angels don't fall that often (angels don't fall)
Baby I'll catch you catch you catch you
Before you hit the ground (before you hit the ground)
And I know angels don't fall that often
Baby I'll catch you catch you catch you
Before you hit the ground
OUTRO (with oo-oo-oo-ooh oo-oo-oo-ooh)
I know angels don't fall that often
Baby I'll catch you catch you catch you
Before you hit the ground (before you hit the ground)
I know angels don't fall that often
Baby I'll catch you catch you catch you
We had no trouble with the face of any plot
When I'd been out stealing in a closet I was caught
I said never but was the first to direct you
Caue your own suicide was legal as infractures
I'm on a train without a traction I'm lost on a roid
That owns a fraction I'm raising my stake
While my time I'm spending on rubber dolls and outlaws
But I tracked you to collect you protect you
From mercy from morals and I never would neglect you
For my angers my laughs that ain't rolling
But your own genocide was mentally directed by
Forces sweet forces that deranged you
Or be cocked or outknocked by amazing
Staindrops but it's been so wrong it's been so long
Yes I've been a fool to be tempte to treat you
For beating the record the simonized packard
The girl on the roam that ain't never getting picked up
Smahsed up stuck inside a resto rumble I got the phone
But I never get I dial tone angels could have crooked you
Could have booked you to go tripping in timbuktu
But would you would you prefer to refer to your nephew
White outlined curfew
Angels could have crooked you could have booked you
To go triping in timbuktu but would you would you
Prefer to refer to your nephew white outlined curfew
Forces no forces could retain you
Or be blocked our outknocked by outrageous
Pit stops but I've been so wrong yes I've been so long
Yes I've been so wrong to be there to protect you
I'm not the wrecker the window or the mekka
The man on the roam that ain't never getting backed up
Smashed up steering like a renegade rambler
I got the phone but I never get a dial tone
But instead I'm caling to rapped up
And mapped up a stone a breeze a number one
Yeah I'm a song an open door
While all my patients are rude
While I'm inspecting the rodeo
And not adore you or bore you
But I'm about to warn you I got a lesson for you
Love is the rapture an honesty failure
Love is a record that I wont play for you
Angels could have crooked
You could have booked you
Yo go tripping in timbuktu but would you
Would you prefer to refer to your nephew
I sit and wait
Does an angel contemplate my fate
And do they know
The places where we go
When we're grey and old
'cos I have been told
That salvation lets their wings unfold
So when I'm lying in my bed
Thoughts running through my head
And I feel the love is dead
I'm loving angels instead
And through it all she offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether I'm right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life won't break me
When I come to call she won't forsake me
I'm loving angels instead
When I'm feeling weak
And my pain walks down a one way street
I look above
And I know I'll always be blessed with love
And as the feeling grows
She breathes flesh to my bones
And when love is dead
I'm loving angels instead
And through it all she offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether I'm right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life won't break me
When I come to call she won't forsake me
I'm loving angels instead
And through it all she offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether I'm right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life won't break me
When I come to call she won't forsake me
Ain't no shook hands in Brooklyn
Army fatigued then fatigue the enemies
Look man, you wanna see me locked up, shot up
Moms crouched up over the casket screamin', "Bastard!"
Cryin', know my friends is lyin'
I know who killed 'em, filled 'em
With 'em Lugers from they rugers or they Deserts
Dyin' ain't the shit but it's pleasant
Kinda quiet, watch my niggas bring the riot
Came from the heaven just to sing a song for you
To the rhythm of my love for you
And now it's beating slow and you know
This the end of the road
When I sing this slow song for you
And love was nothin' but another gun for you
And I would hide it in my hopeless soul
I'm not afraid to go down the road where we go
I don't know, you can hear them callin', don't you?
When the angels call like
Yo, if you don't wanna stay you can go
But since love don't live here no more
The angels are flyin' so low
Singin' to you
Don't you hear them callin' you?
(He's the one you love)
'Cause I hear them callin' me
(And he's the one you trust)
Now that time is almost through
(Time is runnin' out)
There's nothin' left to do
(When they're callin' you)
When the angels call like
(I answer)
For me, for you
I will tell the angels no
Let them turn back into stone
I do love you
It's true
Fire climbing
We ignore the angels call, they were warnings after all
It's cool if I pick you
When the angels call like
Yo, if you don't wanna stay you can go
But since love don't live here no more
The angels are flyin' so low
Singin' to you
Don't you hear them callin' you?
(He's the one you love)
'Cause I hear them callin' me
(And he's the one you trust)
Now that time is almost through
(Time is runnin' out)
There's nothin' left to do
(When they're callin' you)
When the angels call like
(I answer)
Ain't no shook hands in Brooklyn
Army fatigued then fatigue the enemies
Look man, you wanna see me locked up, shot up
Moms crouched up over the casket screamin', "Bastard!"
Cryin', know my friends is lyin'
I know who killed 'em, filled 'em
With 'em Lugers from they rugers or they Deserts
Dyin' ain't the shit but it's pleasant
Kinda quiet, watch my niggas bring the riot
When the angels call like
When the angels call like
When the angels call like
When the angels call like
When the angels call like
Yea yea (Got me some angels)
