ezra furman - god lifts up the lowly lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
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?”

[pre-chorus]
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

[chorus]
i know god lifts up the lowly
i know god lifts up the lowly

[verse 2]
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

[pre-chorus]
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

[chorus]
but i know god lifts up the lowly
i know god lifts up the lowly

[outro]
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
