Angels Hung Around

I've been had and I've been held

with the ghosts at bay

And I've been oaked and I've been doped

and carried away.

I've been charred and I've been scarred

on my own face,

but I never thought I'd see you as I did

today.

'Till the angels hung around

'Till the angels hung around

'Till the angels hung around

as they carried me away.

I've been clubbed and I've been snubbed

by the dogs of LA.

And I've been burned and I've been learned

in the same city.

I've been whored and I've been gored.

I've been less and I've been more,

but I never thought I'd see you

as I did today.

'Till the angels hung around

'Till the angels hung around

'Till the angels hung around

as they carried me away.

ooh oooh (etc)

You were stuck in the badlands,

acting like a bad, bad man.

I've been photographed and painted up,

and I've been in love only once.

And I've feared the best and loved the worst,

and insisted that I go first.

And watched your eyes as they poured,

and I never really loved you more,

and I never thought I'd see you

as I did today.

'Till the angels hung around

'Till the angels hung around

'Till the angels hung around

as they carried you away.

And they put you in the ground

when the angels hung around.

And the angels hung around

as they carried me away.
