Fallen Angel Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Tears of joy at the birth of a brother
Never alone from that time
Sixteen years through knife fights and danger
Strangely why his life, not mine?

[Refrain]
West-side skyline crying
Fallen angel dying
Risk a life to make a dime

[Verse 2]
Lifetimes spent on the streets of a city
Make us the people we are
Switchblade stings in one tenth of a moment
Better get back to the car

[Chorus]
Fallen angel
Fallen angel

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Fallen angel
Fallen angel

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Chorus]
Fallen angel
Fallen angel

[Refrain]
West-side skyline crying
For an angel dying
Life expiring in the—

[Verse 3]
Snow white side streets of cold New York City
Stained with his blood, it all went wrong
Sick and tired
Blue, wicked and wild
God only knows for how long

[Chorus]
Fallen angel
Fallen angel
