Lyrics

The rope that's wrapped around me
Is cutting through my skin
And the doubts that have surrounded me
Are finding their way in
I keep it close to me
Like a holy man prays
In my desperate hour
It's better, better that way
So I'll come by and see you again
I'll be such a very good friend
Have mercy on my soul
I will never let you know
Where my mind has been
Angels never came down
There's no one here
They want to hang around
But if they knew
If they knew you at all
Then one by one, the angels
Angels would fall
I've crept into your temple
I have slept upon your pew
I have dreamed of the divinity
Inside and out of you
I wanted more than truth
I can taste it on my breath
I would give my life, just for a little, a little death
So I'll come by and see you again
I'll be just a very good friend
I will not look upon your face
I will not touch upon your grace
Your ecclesiastic skin
Angels never came down
There's no one here
They wanna hang around
But if they knew
If they knew you at all
Then one by one, the angels
Angels would fall
(Ah, ah)
Angels
(Ah, ah)
Angels would fall
(Ah, ah)
Sweet angels
(Ah, ah)
I'll come by and see you again
And I'll have to be a very good friend
If I whisper, they will know
I'll just turn around and go
You will never know my sin
Angels never came down
There's no one here
They wanna hang around
But if they knew
If they knew you at all
Then one by one, the angels
Angels would fall
There's no one here
They wanna hang around
But if they knew
If they knew you at all
Then one by one, the angels
Angels would fall
Oh-oh, angels
Angels would fall
