Fallen Angel

Hell nobody's perfect

One hundred percent

No saint, no Pope, no King, no Queen

No President

But our hunger for heroes

Has made us blind

We seek salvation

From the cup of human kind

 

But everytime we hear the voice

Of some new Abraham

We wake to late to realize

It's just another scam

 

Fallen angel, fallen angel

Well I guess you were no angel after all

Fallen angel, fallen angel

You always take us with you when you fall

 

I said nobody's perfect

From head to toe

Not Einstein or Elvis or Lennon and Marks

Or Marilyn Monroe

'Cause it's mostly illusion

In flesh and bone

An image look, a song or a book

That we all claim for our own

But even in the best of us

There lies beneath the skin

The tragic flaw in nature's law

That's bound to do us in

 

Fallen angel, fallen angel

Well I guess you were no angel after all

Fallen angel, fallen angel

You always take us with you when you fall

 

Pretty faces up on the silver screen

Flawless bodies on covers of magazines

They all look perfect to us

So rich and cool and bored

But hold the presses boys

The've checked in to Betty Ford

 

Turns out nobody's perfect

From A to Z

It's best you follow your heart

Then to (ha!) follow me

'Cause I'm only a singer

Playin' a song

And I've just been makin' it up

As I went along

 

See I met a man who told me once

Sincerity's the key

And once you learn to fake it

Son your gonna be home free

 

Fallen angel, fallen angel

Well I guess you were no angel after all

Fallen angel, fallen angel

You always take us with you when you fall

 

Angel

Angel
