Lyrics John Mellencamp

John Mellencamp

Battle of Angels

In the battle of angels

On a street that we call home

And the way that we treat each other

We'll walk down that street alone

Take a lover and a stranger

As we lie in each other's arms

And our word is good for nothing

Brought our world only harm

Oooooh, Ooh Ooooooh, in the battle of angels

Oooooh, Ooh Ooooooh, in the battle of angels

You know our lives are full of shadows

With one foot out the door

Trying to satisfy our hungers

And devouring our souls

Oooooh, Ooh Ooooooh, battle of angels

Oooooh, Ooh Ooooooh, battle of angels

Here in the battle of angels

Out on this horizon line

With our romantic notions

And our tongues that tell lies

We keep the barbwire between us

We're just kidding ourselves

Our pistoleros well hidden

Soaring away from everything else

Battle of Angels

Oooooh, Ooh Ooooooh, battle of angels

In the battle of Angels

Oooooh, Ooh Ooooooh, battle of angels
