Hell nobody's perfect |
|
One hundred percent |
|
No saint, no pope, no king no queen |
|
No president |
|
But our hunger for heroes |
|
Has made us blind |
|
We seek salvation |
|
From the cup of human kind |
|
But every time we hear the voice |
|
Of some new abraham |
|
We wake too late to realize |
|
It was just another scam |
|
Fallen angel, fallen angel |
|
Well i guess you were no angel after all |
|
Fallen angel, fallen angel |
|
You always take us with you when you fall |
|
I said nobody's perfect |
|
From head to toe |
|
Not einstein or elvis or lenin or marx |
|
Or marilyn monroe |
|
Cause it's mostly illusion |
|
In flesh and bone |
|
An image, a look, a song or a book |
|
That we all claim for our own |
|
But even in the best of us |
|
There lies beneath the skin |
|
The tragic flaw in nature's law |
|
That's bound to do us in |
|
Fallen angel, fallen angel |
|
Well i guess you were no angel after all |
|
Fallen angel, fallen angel |
|
You always take us with you when you fall |
|
Pretty faces up on the silver screen |
|
Flawless bodies on covers of magazines |
|
They all look perfect to us |
|
So rich and cool and bored |
|
But hold the presses boys |
|
They've checked into betty ford |
|
Turns out nobody's perfect |
|
From 'a' to 'z' |
|
It's best to follow your heart |
|
Then to follow me |
|
Cause i'm only a singer |
|
Playin' a song |
|
And i've just been making it up |
|
As i went along |
|
See i met a man who told me once |
|
'sincerity's the key |
|
And once you learn to fake it |
|
Son you're gonna be home free' |
|
Fallen angel, fallen angel |
|
Well i guess you were no angel after all |
|
Fallen angel, fallen angel |
|
You always take us with you when you fall |
