Angels - David Byrne[00:00:00]
Are there no angels left in america anymore[00:00:33]
They left after the second world war heading west[00:00:37]
Stopping briefly in japan during the 60's[00:00:41]
Then in tianamen square during the last decade[00:00:45]
They kept heading west to who knows where[00:00:49]
What are they after[00:00:57]
What are they looking for[00:01:01]
A messiah who never comes[00:01:05]
A virgin birth[00:01:10]
A perfect drug[00:01:14]
A sign any kind of sign[00:01:17]
Anything that looks slightly out of the ordinary[00:01:22]
Flying over fields and factories[00:01:29]
Momma's going off her head[00:01:31]
Daddy's bringing home the bacon[00:01:33]
Open up the pearly gates[00:01:35]
Fruit of salty lubrication[00:01:37]
Tangled up in arms and legs[00:01:39]
I can barely touch the bottom[00:01:42]
Now i'm working up a sweat[00:01:43]
I'm ready now[00:01:46]
I'm ready now[00:01:53]
I can barely touch my own self[00:02:03]
How could i touch someone else[00:02:07]
I am just an advertisement[00:02:11]
For a version of myself[00:02:14]
Like molecules in constant motion[00:02:18]
Like a million nervous tics[00:02:22]
I am quivering in anticipation[00:02:26]
Like the sunlight on their wings[00:02:30]
I'm ready now don't look back[00:02:34]
I'm ready now i'm ready for this[00:02:43]
I'm ready now[00:02:51]
The sensuous world the smell of the sea[00:03:00]
The sweat off their wings the fruit from the trees[00:03:08]
The angel inside who will meet me tonight[00:03:16]
On wings of desire i come back alive[00:03:24]
I'm ready[00:03:47]
I'm ready i put the dogs outside[00:03:49]
I'm ready[00:03:56]
I'm ready to take that ride[00:03:57]
I'm ready now[00:04:04]
I'm ready now to take that wine[00:04:12]
I'm ready now but where are you[00:04:20]
