Angels

Come on, empty your conscience and come clean for me

I would empty my pockets

Times are lean, you see

And they got us right where they want us

Which is just cogs in the machine

Come on, empty your conscience and come clean for me

Oh tonight we will sleep the sleep of angels

But, when I'm tired I can't keep them salivated

And, it ain't right to be battened down like strangers

For tonight you will sleep just like an angel

Oh the look on your face is just priceless

Oh, Lord, what have I done to invite this?

Oh the look of this place must be hopeless

I was hoping that you wouldn't notice

And where we end up there ain't nobody, nobody, nobody

If he can light the dark in the story that just keeps going and going

Tonight we shall sleep the sleep of angels

But, when I'm tired I can't keep them salivated

And, it ain't right to be battened down like strangers

Oh tonight you will sleep just like and angel

Oh the road lays before us

Is compromised and goalless

Alone, you ignore us

We are graves lost in the forest

And the hope of your loving restored

And the whole that you left is enormous

We'll light signal fires and wave our arms

But, nobody ever saw us

Come on wrap up your sorrows

In the blankets that we borrowed

And we'll march on like those soldiers

Until the world is getting colder

And this time tomorrow all our troubles could be over

Come on wrap up your sorrows and come closer tonight

We shall sleep the sleep of angels

But, when I'm tired I can't keep them salivated

And, it ain't right to be battened down like strangers

Oh tonight you will sleep just like an angel
