Warren Haynes - Angel City lyrics

Angels in the heaven demons on the ground My head is spinning somewhere in between Homes that look like mansions Not so far away from the cardboard ones That make our streets unclean Lord I don't know why I just wound up here I can outrun the pain But I can't explain Why I can't outrun the fear Guess the angel I had on my shoulder Stayed back in my hometown And here in angel city There just ain't enough angels to go around Demons cast their blanket of darkness On the ground like nightfall And we confuse it with magic in the air See that girl with the day-glo halo She ain't been here long at all Says someday she's going back If she can just remember where And the guy sleeping on the streets Yeah I wonder "does he pray?" And I wonder about me Why I don't get up and leave When I ain't got no reason to stay Guess the angel I had on my shoulder Stayed back in my hometown And here in angel city There just ain't enough angels to go around Yeah,they say this town is like quicksand I say "it's time I gotta take my life into my own hands" Guess the angel I had on my shoulder Stayed back in my hometown And here in angel city There just ain't enough angels to go around
