City of Angels
Heaven, is this heaven where we are?See them walking, if you dare, if you call that walkingStumble, stagger, fall and drag themselvesAlong the streets of heaven.
Where is the blessed table to feed all who hunger on EarthWelcomed and seated, each one joyfully served?See them walking, if you dare, if you call that walkingStumble, stagger, fall and drag themselvesAlong the streets of heaven.
Where is the halo that should glow 'round your faceAnd where are the wings that should grow from your shoulder blades?Show them to meThese are sobering sights I've seen in the City of AngelsHave all been one rude awakeningThat was due to me in Heaven
There would have been heavenly music, I was convinced beforeA host of the dearly to meet me with Hosannas sung at the doorBut these are sobering sights I've seen in the City of AngelsHave all been one rude awakening that was due to me in HeavenIn this city of fallen angels
