Carlos ElMino of Maria, Sanchez from Sonora in Mexico
He's parked at an LA Street corner and there's two ways he can go
To the west lay three hombres waiting to gun him down
He drove east and he left that town
He was brushed by the wings of an angel
A young girl full of life and love on a New York street corner and she's leaving home
She had words with her mother that cut her to the bone
Across the street waits a man he's full of s**ual rage
She went back to Mom and they turn that page
She was brushed by the wings of an angel
CHORUS
Some live, some die
Some never know the reason why
They make their guardian angel's cry and the sky turn black
And tears fall down as rain
Little earth bound angels need a guiding hand
The hand of God or the hand of man
Or the wind from the wings of an angel
Two kids from the suburbs with too much time on their hands
And they are looking for a thrill
They head down to East Hastings, Vancouver looking for a guy named one-eyed Phil
They pa** by the blue door, they stare at the crack
You walk through that door boys, you don't ever come back
They were brushed by the wings of an angel
CHORUS
