God Lifts Up the Lowly |
| Some angels will carry you homeward |
| Other angels you don’t wanna meet |
| My guardian angel’s got wings of tinfoil |
| And cigarettes found in the street |
| My angel’s got eyes like a housing project |
| He was born inside a guitar |
| And I can’t forget his red lips and eyelashes |
| And his «How'd we end up where we are?» |
| There’s nothing doing on the main streets |
| Let’s take the alley for the evening |
| And we’re driving in a car that won’t slow down |
| Making ourselves up in the rear view mirror |
| I know God lifts up the lowly |
| I know God lifts up the lowly |
| We’re searching the trunk every morning |
| We tore out a tracking device |
| And I pray for plagues to come down on this Egypt |
| And I dream of blood, fire and lice |
| I wake with my coat for a blanket |
| My angel’s been up for an hour |
| And I’ve looked deep into this frail human body |
| And I know that I carry a power |
| We’ll never make it on the main streets |
| They’ll force us back into the alleyways |
| And we’re re-arranging furniture |
| In a burning house |
| But I know God lifts up the lowly |
| I know God lifts up the lowly |
| Ram v’nisa, gadol v’nora |
| Mashpil ge’im u’magbiha shfalim |
| Motzi asirim u’podeh anavim |
| V’ozer dalim |
| V’oneh l’amo b’et shavam eilav |
