Angel of 14th Street |
| Broadway traffic streaming light |
| She came from California |
| Running from daylight into |
| This endless electric twilight |
| And when she dies a ghost is born |
| Singing «Get up! |
| Get up! |
| Get up! |
| Get up out of your memories! |
| Get out of the sunlight |
| Get out of that sleeping western town» |
| Got a little bit of running for you now |
| Got a little way to run |
| To answer all our hopes and fears |
| A king is leaving Union Square |
| Did we leave the light on? |
| Does he need a light on? |
| The king is screaming highway songs |
| Of blood and lies |
| Of hope and wrong |
| Did he leave a light on? |
| Does h need a light on? |
| Yesterday when w get older |
| We’ll look back on all the times |
| He had you putting a face on |
| Instead of just walking away |
| So paint your face black and blue again |
| Wake up! |
| Wake up! |
| Wake up! |
| Wake up new and |
| Put on the clothes that make you feel like you’re not broken |
| He put a little bit of color in your eye |
| You got a little bit of color |
| To answer all our hopes & prayers |
| An angel sang in Union Square |
| Did she leave the light on? |
| Do we need a light on? |
| The congregation came to stare |
| To touch her dress |
| To pull her hair |
| They tore her clothes and left her there |
| Did she need a light on? |
| Do we need a light on? |
| Do we need a light on? |
| Do we need a light on? |
| These daydream nations won’t come true |
| The ghosts you made up ghosted you |
| The angel learns to live with |
| Things that make her feel uneasy |
| And after all the dreaming’s done |
| She screams «Wake up! |
| Wake up! |
| Wake up! |
| Wake up! |
| This is a recording |
| A ghost of England |
| Awake in a dream of America» |
| You see him coming out the corner of your eye |
| You can hear him breathing when he runs |
| The King of all our hopes and fears |
| His train departing Union Square |
| Just moved to somewhere South of here |
| Did he leave a light on? |
| Her feathers stale with sex and beer |
| The angel of the pavement cries |
| «If god is dead, why am I here? |
| Did he leave a light on |
| For me? |
| Did he leave a light on |
| For me? |
| Did he leave a light on |
| For me? |
| Did he leave a light on |
| For me?» |
