Angels |
| There are no angels left in America anymore |
| They left after the Second World War heading west |
| Stopping briefly in Japan during the 60's |
| Then in Tianamen Square during the last decade |
| They kept heading west to who knows where |
| What are they after? |
| What are they looking for? |
| A messiah who never comes? |
| A virgin birth? |
| A perfect drug? |
| A sign, any kind of sign? |
| Anything that looks slightly out of the ordinary |
| Flying over fields and factories |
| Momma’s going off her head |
| Daddy’s bringing home the bacon |
| Open up the pearly gates |
| Fruit of salty lubrication |
| Tangled up in arms and legs |
| I can barely touch the bottom |
| Now I’m working up a sweat! |
| I’m ready now |
| I’m ready now |
| I can barely touch my own self |
| How could I touch someone else? |
| I am just an advertisement |
| For a version of myself |
| Like molecules in constant motion |
| Like a million nervous tics |
| I am quivering in anticipation |
| Like the sunlight on their wings |
| I’m ready now (don't look back) |
| I’m ready now (I'm ready for this) |
| I’m ready now (uhh, uhh, uhhh) |
| The sensuous world — the smell of the sea |
| The sweat off their wings — the fruit from the trees |
| The angel inside — who will meet me tonight |
| On wings of desire — I come back alive |
| I’m ready |
| I’m ready (I put the dogs outside) |
| I’m ready |
| I’m ready (to take that ride) |
| I’m ready now |
| I’m ready now (to take that wine) |
| I’m ready now but where are you? |
