Father Electricity - Angel Lyrics

There comes a time when we are all so hungry
But not as starved as somebody I know
His flesh it grabs the bones like they're a criminal
Lashed out in violence when you weren't alone

He bites the dust before even the dead do
Depraved, enslaved and bitter as a root
He blinds himself with light each night
To search for something he finds right
But never finds the time to go and do

I'll be here my angel, and I'll be here my angel
Well I'll be here my angel, and I'll be here my angel
But it's too late

I'm cutting out my friends and bleeding, It comes out with the skin
They've never been so bad, I think it's just the skin I'm in
I'm bringing back the lovers that I couldn't palate twice
I'm waiting for the girl I left behind that was so nice

And boundless faith, inside of finite men
Says I'll be here waiting for her, you'll see
I'll be here my angel, I'll be here my angel

It's never the core issue, which determines us together
It's always something arbitrary, it's the fashion or the weather
I'm taking down the pictures that I'd held in high regards
It's just depression poker, and you're holding all the cards

And boundless faith, inside of finite men
Says I'll be here waiting for her, you'll see
I'll be here my angel, I'll be here my angel

Oh take me on your wings, and fly me up so high
And tell me there's a heaven, and it's up there in the sky
You know that I believe, you know it's a cliché
I can believe forever, just as I believe today
