Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was walking down Dean Street
Heading nowhere at all
Aimlessly strolling through SoHo
And the rain began to fall
[Verse 2]
Alright naughty boy, she said
Passing me on Dean Street
She's striding through the puddles
On black Stilletoed feet
Guitar over one shoulder
Swirling swagger in her stride
[Verse 3]
In a well-appointed pencil skirt
With maybe, just maybe eighteen inches wide
The voice of fallen angels
Plus lovers in the night
And blackbird on the wing
Now only fallen angels sing
[Verse 4]
She looked back at me and smiled
She winked one deep black mascara eye
Well, I narrowly missed the lamp post
As I made to make my reply
And black taxis splashes diesel these are rainbows further neon air
Behind fishnet stocking pride
I draw the daily air
[Verse 5]
The voice of fallen angels
Lost lovers in the night
And blackbird on the wing
And only fallen angels sing
[Verse 6]
Black guitar over one shoulder
Just a glimpse of pink, the pearly bra
Glowing in the mist when he Scotts
There she goes
Sir, Le toi' toi'
We briefly faced each other
And she turned and walked away
And the rain latched down on Dean Street
And that black and mournful day
Hey
[Verse 7]
Her voice of fallen angels
Lost lovers in the night
No blackbird on the wing
Now only fallen angels sing
Sing
[Verse 8]
The voice of fallen angels
Lost lovers in the night
Blackbird on the wing
Only fallen angels sing
Blackbird on the wing
Only fallen angels sing
[Verse 9]
For the love scene
For the love scene
For the love scene
