When Angels Die

When angels die and their rags are on my feet.
When angels die and leave me incomplete.
When angels die they leave me hanging round
Like the thorns that fill up your crown.

When angels die.
When angels die.
When angels die.
When angels die.

When angels cry and they look into your eyes.
When angels fall on down you know you've touched the ground.
When angels break their wings you're sure of so many things
Like the lanterns that light up all your dreams.

When angels die.
When angels die.
When angels die.
When angels die.

When angels walk around and they kiss the holy ground
When angels hold you in their arms
You can be sure you'll never come to harm.
When angels wet their lips you know they still turn tricks
Like all the girls you know from your home town.

When angels die.
When angels die.
When angels die.
When angels die.
