Angels

[Verse 1]

And with a wink and a smile

You toss your instructions on

How to catch a train while it's moving

You always were the one

That kept us all guessing

How you could survive the fall you had

[Pre-Chorus 1]

From medicine men to my D.J. friends

They all have said, "He's got to watch his back"

[Chorus]

They're trapping angels by the Potomac

But it's not how you think, you'd be surprised

They liberate your dreamscape

'Til you can't remember to recall

Where your wings have gone

Tell me where they've gone

[Verse 2]

From Jordan to Chicago

Another child is born

Trusting that we'll get it right this time

I should've worn my glasses

You said just to trust

Then you chose to sign the dotted line

[Pre-Chorus 2]

From modern Magdalenes to my D.J. friends

They all have said, "He's got to watch his back"

[Chorus]

They're trapping angels by the Potomac

But it's not how you think, you'd be surprised

They liberate your dreamscape

Till you can't remember to recall

Where your wings have gone

[Bridge]

Before I close my eyes at night

I can still see you smiling

Before the truth was buried alive

Did we prize it?

Before you change the world

Maybe, boy, you should change your girl

[Chorus]

They're trapping angels by the Potomac

They're trapping angels, Lord, I know this

They're trapping angels by the Potomac

But we're getting closer now

I said we're getting closer

To where they've gone

Tell me where they've gone

Tell me where they've gone

Now it won't be long
