Fallen Angel Songtext
von John Schumann

Did I see you there in the twilight
On the car yard side of town
Where the chrome and the glass and the concrete
Push the neon sky around
And in the coming of the darkness
Did you lose your power base
And the TV news and the business pages
Tracked your fall from grace

And you′re a fallen angel
Did you ever see me standing there
Alongside your machine
Yeah that was me with a mortgage
And some hungry mouths to feed

And you came on to the floor one day
And smiled and turned away
You were lunching with the Prime Minister
In another state that day


And you're a fallen angel
On a downhill run
Fallen angel
Look what you have done
Fallen angel
We watched you fly so high
Fallen angel
You almost touched the sky

Well you dined with kings and princes
And you rode in limousines
And we read about your life and times
In the glossy magazines
And you bought and sold my children′s future
With others of your class
Now the landscape's dry and dusty
And the diamonds have turned to glass

And you're a fallen angel

Yeah that was me on the TV
Queuing up outside the door
This mum had all her money in there
But it all went through the floor

And in the cold hard light of morning
You were nowhere to be found
′Cause you got out the day before
The house of cards came down


You′re a fallen angel
On a downhill run
Fallen angel
Look what you have done
Fallen angel
We watched you fly so high
Fallen angel
Now there's nowhere for you to hide

And I watched you while you watched our lives
And I tried to read your face
On the working side of town out here
You′re just a little bit out of place

And in the coming of the darkness
I just turned and walked away

When everything's said and done
There′s nothing more to say

To a fallen angel
On a downhill run
Fallen angel
Look what you have done
Fallen angel
We watched you fly so high
Fallen angel
You almost touched the sky

Fallen angel
Fallen angel
Fallen angel

Fallen angel
Fallen angel
Fallen angel

Fallen angel
Fallen angel
Fallen angel
Fallen angel
Fallen angel
