about

an anthem for returning angels

lyrics

jesus won't save you now
no one is there
to take you to solid ground
come into my heart
from a secluded part
the angels have fled
the diseased and the dead
on the misery-go-round

did you hear what they said
did you feel what they said
they said "put out your fag
and don't come back"
put out your fag and don't come back

listen quietly
speak if you will
but do it quietly
no--
listen to me
listen to me
i'm tired of being unseen
come at the madge
with the rainbow badge
his middle finger advanced
lazarus learn
from the lust and the burn
watch us turn
into eagles that fly
look in my eyes
people realise
you must mobilise
they say, "put out your fag"--
we'll just come back
put out your fag
we'll just come back

i'll come
i'll come
i'll come back
