john schumann - fallen angel lyrics

Loading...

did i see you there in the twilight
on the car yard side of town
where the chrome and the gl-ss
and the concrete
push the neon sky around
and in the coming of the darkness
you lose your power base
the tv news and the business pages
tracked your fall from grace
and you’re a fallen angel

did you ever see me standing there
beside your machine
yeah that was me with a mortgage
and some hungry mouths to feed
and you came on to the floor one day
you smiled and turned away
you were lunching with the prime minister
in another state that day

now you’re a fallen angel
on a downhill run
fallen angel
look what you have done
we watched you fly so high
fallen angel
now there’s nowhere for you to hide

you dined with kings and princess
and you rode in limosines
and we read about your life and times
in the glossy magazines
you bought and sold my children’s future
with others of your cl-ss
now the landscape’s dry and dusty
and the diamonds have turned to gl-ss
you’re a fallen angel

yeah that was me on the tv
queuing up outside the door
because mum had all her money in there
when it all went through the floor
and in the cold hard light of morning
you were nowhere to be found
because you got out the day before
the house of cards came down

and you’re a fallen angel
on a downhill run
fallen angel
look what you have done
we watched you fly so high
fallen angel
now there’s nowhere for you to hide

i watched you while you watched our lives
and i tried to read your face
on the working side of town out here
you’re just a little bit out of place
and in the coming of the darkness
i just turned and walked away
when everything is said and done
there’s nothing more to say

now you’re a fallen angel
on a downhill run
fallen angel
look what you have done
we watched you fly so high
fallen angel
now there’s nowhere for you to hide
