Angel City

Angels in the heaven demons on the ground

My head is spinning somewhere in between

Homes that look like mansions

Not so far away from the cardboard ones

That make our streets unclean

Lord I don't know why

I just wound up here

I can outrun the pain

But I can't explain

Why I can't outrun the fear

Guess the angel I had on my shoulder

Stayed back in my hometown

And here in angel city

There just ain't enough angels to go around

Demons cast their blanket of darkness

On the ground like nightfall

And we confuse it with magic in the air

See that girl with the day-glo halo

She ain't been here long at all

Says someday she's going back

If she can just remember where

And the guy sleeping on the streets

Yeah I wonder "does he pray?"

And I wonder about me

Why I don't get up and leave

When I ain't got no reason to stay

Guess the angel I had on my shoulder

Stayed back in my hometown

And here in angel city

There just ain't enough angels to go around

Yeah,they say this town is like quicksand

I say "it's time

I gotta take my life into my own hands"

Guess the angel I had on my shoulder

Stayed back in my hometown

And here in angel city

There just ain't enough angels to go around
