There are cans being kicked on the corner There's a corner being kicked by a girl There's a far off city calling me to join her And there's a red-eyed Angel falling upon the world There are masks we all wear at midnight In our dreams or hitting up the town The subway conversation is my mind now And for that, the red-eyed Angel's coming down Dancing is one form of diversion Like a top, I love to watch her body twirl When she tells me she loves me, I believe her Still there's a red-eyed Angel falling upon the world On the seas, man, you've really done a number On the skies and on your fellow man I'd hold out my hand and try to help you But He's coming now, and I don't think I can And white beauty conceals a black bullet Her love's a gun with a handle made of pearl If she shoots my brother, she's not my sister And red wrath will be released upon the world Yes, that red-eyed Angel's knocking on your door
