Angels

Richard had a party so many years ago

We were only seventeen and the scene

Was a fantasy we'd stolen from an English queen

We were into swimwear, we danced to cheap cassettes

I was pretty dumb, but my gums

Got so numb from the cocaine when they were kissing me

Richard saw his mother, she wasn't really there

He was really much too high to survive

When he tried his suicide off the balcony

And he said:

"Angеls are breaking my bones again

Mothеr you're driving me crazy"

He told me:

"Turn out the lights, don't turn out the lights"

So we dragged him down off the railing

So he wouldn't break his pretty head when he fell down

To the hard cold pavement below

It was snowing outside, snowing inside, no place to hide

From the snow and the razors he used to cut lines

In his arms were making him bleed all over the place

Well it's kind of a drag when a small town fag

Is trying to off himself when I'm just trying to get it on

Just trying to get it on for the very first time

And he said:

"Angels are breaking my bones again

Mother you're driving me crazy"

He told me:

"Turn out the lights, don't turn out the lights"

So we turned out the lights and everything was quiet

No reason to be scared no reason to deny it

Taking off our clothes [?] all our holes

The angels came down, angels came down

And they came through the doors, screaming "you whore"

The angels came down, angels came down

Bleeding as he cried, "you should have let me die"

The angels came down, angels came down
