City of Angels - 10,000 Maniacs

Heaven, is this heaven wher we are?

See them walking, if youi

dare, if you call that walking.

Stumble, stagger, fall and drag

themselvesalong the streets of heaven.

Where is the blessed table to feed all who hunger on earth,

welcomed and seated each one joyfully served?

See them walkinf, if you dare, if you call that walking.

Stumble, stagger, fall and drag

themselves along the streets of heaven.

Where is the halo that should glow 'round your face, and where

are the wings that should grow from your shoulder blades?

Show them

to me.

These are sobering sights I’ve seen in the City of Angels have

all been one rude awakening that was dues to me in heaven.

There would have been heavenly music I was convinced before.

A host of the dearly to meet me with Hosannas sung at the door, but

these are sobering sights I’ve seen in the City of Angels have all

been one rude awakening that was dues to me in hevean.

In this city

of fallen angels.
