Angels to fly

Verse:

Ripped gloves, raincoat, tried to swim and stay afloat
Dry house, wet clothes
Loose change, bank notes, weary-eyed, dry throat
Call girl, no phone

Pre-Chorus:

And they say she's in the Class A Team, stuck in her daydream
Been this way since 18, but lately her face seems, slowly sinking, wasting
Crumbling like pastries, and they scream the worst things in life come free to us

Chorus:

Cause we're all under the upperhand, and go mad for a couple of grams
And she don't want to go outside tonight
And in a pipe she flies to the Motherland, or sells love to another man
It's too cold outside for angels to fly

Bridge:

Am7 (x02010@1)         C2 (x32030@1)            EmAn (022000@1)angel will die, covered in white
Em (022000@1)           GClosed (320003@1)eye and hoping for a better life
Am7 (x02010@1)                     C2 (x32030@1)                       EmThis (022000@1)time, we'll fade out tonight, straight down the line
                  GStraight (320003@1)down the line

Pre-Chorus:

And they say she's in the Class A Team, stuck in her daydream
Been this way since 18, but lately her face seems, slowly sinking, wasting
Crumbling like pastries, and they scream the worst things in life come free to us

Chorus:
Cause we're all under the upperhand, and go mad for a couple of grams
And she don't want to go outside tonight
And in a pipe she flies to the Motherland, or sells love to another man
It's too cold outside for angels to fly 
Angels to fly
To fly, fly
Or angels to die
