Lyrics

[00:12.280] White lips, pale face
[00:14.880] Breathing in snowflakes
[00:17.780] Burnt lungs, sour taste
[00:23.530] Light's gone, day's end
[00:26.240] Struggling to pay rent
[00:29.070] Long nights, strange men
[00:33.740] And they say
[00:35.250] She's in the Class A Team
[00:38.200] Stuck in her daydream
[00:41.020] Been this way since 18
[00:43.870] But lately her face seems
[00:46.610] Slowly sinking, wasting
[00:49.470] Crumbling like pastries
[00:52.160] And they scream
[00:53.520] The worst things in life come free to us
[00:56.300] Cos we're just under the upperhand
[00:59.720] And go mad for a couple of grams
[01:02.500] And she don't want to go outside tonight
[01:07.560] And in a pipe she flies to the Motherland
[01:11.040] Or sells love to another man
[01:13.810] It's too cold outside
[01:17.580] For angels to fly
[01:25.670] Ripped gloves, raincoat
[01:28.490] Tried to swim and stay afloat
[01:31.270] Dry house, wet clothes
[01:36.930] Loose change, bank notes
[01:40.060] Weary-eyed, dry throat
[01:42.680] Call girl, no phone
[01:47.160] And they say
[01:48.700] She's in the Class A Team
[01:51.790] Stuck in her daydream
[01:55.230] Been this way since 18
[01:58.630] But lately her face seems
[02:00.840] Slowly sinking, wasting
[02:03.710] Crumbling like pastries
[02:06.290] And they scream
[02:07.630] The worst things in life come free to us
[02:10.470] Cos we're just under the upperhand
[02:13.790] And go mad for a couple of grams
[02:16.610] But she don't want to go outside tonight
[02:21.580] And in a pipe she flies to the Motherland
[02:25.130] Or sells love to another man
[02:27.910] It's too cold outside
[02:31.600] For angels to fly
[02:34.700] An angel will die
[02:38.410] Covered in white
[02:42.230] Closed eye
[02:43.820] And hoping for a better life
[02:46.280] This time, we'll fade out tonight
[02:50.590] Straight down the line
[02:57.700] And we're all under the upperhand
[03:00.900] Go mad for a couple of grams
[03:03.680] And we don't want to go outside tonight
[03:08.610] And in a pipe we fly to the Motherland
[03:12.130] Or sell love to another man
[03:14.930] It's too cold outside
[03:18.630] For angels to fly
[03:24.470] Angels to fly
[03:30.550] To fly, fly
[03:35.900] Angels to fly, to fly, to fly
[03:41.690] Angels to die
