Angel Station lyrics

The road is empty,
The subway lies ahead,
There is no music all the sounds have gone dead.
The day is misty,
There's no life around,
'Cause there's something wrong in this town.

Out in the distance,
There's a simple sound,
It comes, it grows.
Bell of the earth,
Ringing like a tambourine,
Calling right out of the silent places,
Calling to me from the empty spaces.
Core of the earth,

There's a finger on the dial,
The lucky wheel goes round,
Little joker knows he can't escape.
The same time every year,
The fun fair's back in town,
Numbers in the air like ticker tape.

58, 56, 54,
Good angels at my door.
63, 62, 61, 60, 59, 58,
Good angels at my gate.

Throw a seven down,
Place another bet,
The joker laughs as the stakes get higher.
The gambler and the clown,

Jesus Christ you've come out of hiding,
Just sign on the dotted line, I'll see you're OK
I'll say to you expenses are high,
Seeing you've made it before I'll take 20% and no more
(Gross)

Oh, tell me Lord did you happen to bring with you,
A saleable piece of the cross,
Crown of thorns,
A disciple or two.

We'll sell them Jesus hats, Jesus socks, Jesus coats,
We'll sue the Pope,

Waiting for the rain,
Waiting for the rain,

You told me you were gonna make it,
You told me you were gonna win,
And I believed it was true,
Yes I believed, I believed in you.

There you go running through the alleys,
Can't you see you're waiting for the rain,
Look at you now wondering what you could be,
You've had all the hard luck you can handle,
