Last time I took your pulse
Thought we might last a couple days
And it's been a while since then
My prognosis is the same
Oh, angel! I feel away
I feel impermanent and gray
Let me turn on a light
Let me turn you around
Flex your muscles, right there, big guy
Flex your muscles now, but not like that!
Yeah, the heart of the problem is
Every night the same dream
Every night the same dream
I'm tired of it
You told me once
We can't get anything for free
It's always us against them
Before it's you against me
Oh angel! i love the way you think
And I hate when i get what you mean
How's it looking outside?
How long you in town?
Flex your muscles, right there, big guy
Flex your muscles now, but not like that!
Yeah, the heart of the problem is
We always face the same way
We're always on the same page
I hate it!
It's the luck of the draw
It comes in on the wind
Take a look at your tea leaves
That's where confidence lives
Oh, angel!
I've lived in your beautiful house
For an age and I try to relax
But from a certain perspective
I'm a visitor here
I am still moving in
You can only ever want what you know how to ask for
You can only ever want what you know to believe
Before you can pray you have to pick out the words, yeah
You can only ever dream of what you've already seen
You can only ever dream of what you've already seen
You can only ever dream of what you've already seen
You can only ever dream of what you've already seen
Fading queens will wait in vain for novelty
That's you and me, man!
Oh, angel
Some nights, your starry eyes
They're falling on me all wrong
