The A Team

I

White lips, pale face

Breathing in the snowflakes

Burnt lungs, the sour taste

Lights gone, days end

Struggling to pay rent

Long nights, strange men

*CHORUS*

And they say she's in the "Class A Team"

Stuck in her daydream

Been this way since eighteen

But lately her face seems

Slowly sinking wasting

Crumbling like pastries

But they scream

"The worst things in life come free to us "

Cause were just under the upper hand

Or go mad for a couple grams

And she don't wanna go outside tonight

And in a pipe she flies to the motherland

Or sells love to another man

It's too cold outside for angels to fly

For angels to fly

II

Ripped gloves, rain coat

Try to swim stay float

Dry house, wet clothes

Loose change, bank notes

Weary eye, dry throat

Call girl, no phone

*REPEAT CHORUS EXCEPT LAST LINE*

*BRIDGE*

The angel will die

Covered in white

Closed eyed

Hoping for a better life

This time

We fade out tonight

Straight down the line

*CHORUS 2*

And they say she's in the "Class A Team"

Stuck in her daydream

Been this way since eighteen

But lately her face seems

Slowly sinking wasting

Crumbling like pastries

But they scream

"The worst things in life come free to us "

And we're all under the upper hand

Go mad for a couple grams

We don't wanna go outside tonight

And in a pipe we fly to the motherland

Or sell love to another man

It's too cold outside for angels to fly

Angels to fly

*CODA*

To fly , fly , angels to fly

To fly , to fly

Angels to die
