John Schumann - Fallen Angel lyrics

Did I see you there in the twilight On the car yard side of town Where the chrome and the gla** 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 cla** Now the landscape's dry and dusty And the diamonds have turned to gla** 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
