lyrics

Well you're no good in public
Unless you put those wings away
And bite your tongue or hold in those lungs
At least try to hide your face
Well it's been so long since I've crawled home
But I know these city streets
So take the night off cuz I know your job
Is tiring watching me

And I know you're training angels
But I've failed cuz I'm no saint
I'm a gambling man
A drink's in my hand
And I'll smoke the day away

He taught me
Never get a girl's name tattooed on your skin
And only propose if you suppose that she'll fit in
Yeah, leave her in the dust if you must and don't give in
Don't be afraid to lose cuz I'm here to help you win

Well your halo's getting rusty
And your holy water's warm
I can see your clothes are full of holes
And your robe is even torn
Well I'll bet my head is in the clouds
For most part of the day
As I drift off persuade all you want
You'll find I'm stuck in my ways

And you may be an arch angel way up there
With your fists up in the air
With your fists up in the air
And you may be an arch angel way up there
But I never asked you to hold me back
