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 We confuse with the magic in the air
Oh, see that girl with the day-glow, halo She ain't been here long at all Says someday she's going back If she can just remember where
The guy sleeping on the street Yeah, I wonder, does he pray? 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, that I take my life Into my own hands, yeah, yeah"
