ANGEL OF THE CITY

Another hot day in the city

Sweat pouring down

It ain't too pretty

Workin' your fingers to the bone

Tryin' to get blood from a stone

The whip, it cracks

Just like thunder

Some survive her

Some go under

Dancin' this ball and chain around

There ain't no goog to be found

Angel of the city

Are you watching over me ?

Angel of the city

Tell me where can you be ?

In time I'll find you

Angel of the city

Come on show your face

Angel of the city

Free me from this place

In time I'll find you

Angel of the city

The streets they scream with desire

The air is thick with dreams on fire

This ain't any kind of life

Living on the edge of a knife

(Chorus)

Heaven, send her to my door

I can't hide away here anymore

(Instrumental)

(Chorus)
