Sleeps With Angels lyrics

I feel like I died

and went to Heaven

The cupboards are bare

but the streets
are paved with gold

I saw a young girl who didn't die

I saw a glimmer from in her eye

I saw the distance, I saw the past

And I know I won't awaken,

it's a dream that can last

I feel like I died

and went to Heaven

The cupboards are bare

but the streets

are paved with gold

Frontier town, home of the westren hero
Frontier justice, dealt with the iron hand

He wore a long coat to the ground
He wore big boots that made a sound
He wore a six gun on his hip
But now he doesn't carry it

Sure enough, he was a western hero
On the deck, sighting an old Jap zero

And on the shores at Normandy
He fought for you, he fought for me
Across the land and on the sea

Embracing, distorting, supporting, comforting
Convincing you, consoling you
Controlling you, destroying you
All over you

I know someday we'll meet again
We come and go that way my friend
It's part of me, it's part of you

You feel invincible, it's just a part of life
You feel invincible, it's just a part of life

Train of love
Racing from heart to heart
Running late
Still in the lonely part
This train will never run me down
But only take me where I'm bound
It's part of me and part of you
I'll always be a part of you

Sail along, sail along silver moon
Don't be blue
Throw shadows in my room
I know in time we'll meet again
We come and go that way, my friend
It's part of me and part of you

Tried to save the trees
Bought a plastic bag
The bottom fell out
It was a piece of crap

Saw it on the tube
Bought it on the phone
Now you're home alone
It's a piece of crap

I tried to plug in it
I tried to turn it on
When I got it home
It was a piece of crap

Got it from a friend
On him you can depend
I found out in the end
It was a piece of crap

I'm trying to save the trees

When you get weak, and you need to test your willWhen life's complete, but there's something missing stillDistracting you from this must be the one you loveMust be the one whose magic touch can change your mindDon't let another day go by without the magic touchDistracting you

Like a Safeway cart rolling down the street
Like a sandal mark on the Savior's feet
Just keep rolling on it's a ghetto dawn

Baby looks so bad with her TV eyes
Going, going, gone and the picture cries
It's a ghetto dawn

Baby looks so bad with her TV eyes
Going, going, gone and the picture cries
Baby looks so bad with her TV eyes

Like a Safeway cart rolling down the street

Trans Am

The wagons in the valley

had pulled up for the night

Seth said
"go get the plow out Merle,

this place looks just right"

By then they were surrounded,

by dawn they all were dead

I heard this from

the old Trans Am,

up the road ahead

That cowboy just kept talking,

I thought I heard him say

He used to ride the Santa Fe

before the tracks were laid

Trans Am

Down in the valley the sheperd sees
His flock is close at hand
And in the night sky a star is falling down
From someone's hand

Somewhere, somehwere,
I gotta get somewhere
It's not too late, it's not too late
I've got to get somewhere

This time I will take the lead somehow
This time you won't have to show me how

When dreams come crashing down like trees

It's a random kind of thing
Came upon a delicate flower
I can't believe a machine gun sings
Driveby, driveby, driveby, driveby

Well he borrowed his girlfiend's car
Went out riding with the boys
Now she's gone like a shooting star
Driveby, driveby, driveby, driveby

Now she's gone like a shooting star
Trail of dreams Tragic trail of fire
Now she's gone like a shooting star

Shadows climb up the garden wall
Upon the green the first leaf falls
It's the prime of life and the king and queen
Step out into the sun, (Oh yeah)

Are you feeling all right
Not feeling too bad myself
Are you feeling all right, my friend?

Footsteps run down the castle hall
To the rooms of the paper doll

It's the prime of life, where the spirit grows

She wasn't perfect
She had some trips of her own
He wasn't worried
At least he wasn't alone (Too late)
He sleeps with angels (Too soon)
He's always on someone's mind
He sleeps with angels (Too late)
He sleeps with angels (Too soon)

She was a teen queen
She saw the dark side of life
She made things happen
But when he did it that night
She ran up phone bills
