Tarnished Angel Songtext
von Silkworm

I thank God for relentless thirst
Corn liquor can′t speak 'less you drink it first
And I toasted him before the set
Shouldn′t fly a plane drunk on Anisette
He counseled through the bourbon haze
Never use a cruelty where a joke would do in its place
I always drink before the race
It's a savage world, not afraid to show a savage face

Not one of you, yeah, tarnished angel
Not one of you, yeah, tarnished angel


In a world of swarming flies
Not an angel or an athlete can live so high
Clip the pylon's edge
It′s a rookie mistake, it′ll be on the rookie's head
The crowd′s a rapacious beast
You can feel its hunger before every feast
Thanks for advice, my sodden friend
I'll look deep inside, see if I belong with the mend

Not one of you, yeah, tarnished angel
Not one of you, yeah, tarnished angel
Not one of you, yeah, tarnished angel
Not one of you, yeah, tarnished

On the night we said goodbye
It was for affect, I dried my eyes
Yeah, that night I said goodbye
It was for affect, I dried my eyes

Not one of you, yeah, tarnished angel
Not one of you, yeah, tarnished angel
Not one of you, yeah, tarnished angel
