Burden Of The Angel/Beast |
| From the lying mirror to the movement of stars |
| Everybody’s looking for who they are |
| Those who know don’t have the words to tell |
| And the ones with the words don’t know too well |
| Could be the famine |
| Could be the feast |
| Could be the pusher |
| Could be the priest |
| Always ourselves we love the least |
| That’s the burden of the angel/beast |
| Birds of paradise -- birds of prey |
| Here tomorrow, gone today |
| Cross my forehead, cross my palm |
| Don’t cross me or I’ll do you harm |
| We go crying, we come laughing |
| Never understand the time we’re passing |
| Kill for money, die for love |
| Whatever was God thinking of? |
