Lyrics
[Verse 1]
White lips, pale face
Breathin' in the snowflakes
Burnt lungs, sour taste
Light's gone, day's end
Struggling to pay rent
Long nights, strange men
[Verse 2]
And they say
She's in the Class a Team
Stuck in her daydream
Been this way since eighteen
But lately
Her face seems
Slowly sinkin', wasting
Crumbling like pastries
And they scream
The worst things in life
Come free to us
[Verse 3]
'Cause we're just under the upper hand
And go mad for a couple grams
But she don't want to go outside tonight
And in a pipe she flies to the motherland
Or sells love to another man
It's too cold outside
For angels to fly
For angels to fly
[Verse 4]
Ripped gloves, raincoat
Tried to swim and stay afloat
Dry house, wet clothes
Loose change, banknotes
Weary eyed and dry throat
Cool girl, no phone
[Verse 5]
And they say
She's in the Class a Team
Stuck in her daydream
Been this way since eighteen
But lately
Her face seems
Slowly sinkin', wasting
Crumbling like pastries
And they scream
The worst things in life
Come free to us
[Verse 6]
'Cause we're just under the upper hand
And go mad for a couple grams
But she don't want to go outside tonight
And in her pipe she flies to the motherland
Or sells love to another man
It's too cold outside
For angels to fly
For angels to fly
[Verse 7]
And they say
She's in the Class a Team
Stuck in her daydream
Been this way since eighteen
But lately
Her face seems
Slowly sinkin', wasting
Crumbling like pastries
And they scream
The worst things in life
Come free to us
[Verse 8]
'Cause we're just under the upper hand
And go mad for a couple grams
But she don't want to go outside tonight
And in her pipe she flies to the motherland
Or sells love to another man
It's too cold outside
For angels to fly
For angels to fly
To fly
For angels to die
