Someone said and I believed
"Wealth is what you need"
As victim of my circumstance
I had a fateful greed
Certain habits long aboard
Too hard to sacrifice
Misled by the devil's voice
I knew I'd meet him twice
When all the angels have been slain
And the priests are dashed with pain
The fragile bridge over troubled water
Of sins collides to the abyss
Watch the churches burn
It's the devil's turn
Satan pulls the strings
Look what tomorrow brings
Nearly I had everything
That wishes could provide
My darling wore twelve diamond rings
She was my silken bride
When all the angels have been slain
And Wall Street hustlers are your saints
The fragile bridge over troubled water
Of sins collides to the abyss
Watch the churches burn
It's the devil's turn
Satan pulls the strings
Look what tomorrow brings
When all the angels have been slain
And nothing's left worth to retain
The fragile bridge over troubled water
Of sins collides to the abyss
Watch the churches burn
It's the devil's turn
Satan pulls the strings
Look what tomorrow brings
