The Angels Songtext
von Steve Wynn

On the day that he left
They placed a ring around his neck
So they′d know where he came from

He was tired of all the lies
And all the shallow ties
And he was tired of acting dumb

But on the third day alone
He was waiting by the phone
For any familiar voice

And he recalled an older day
When he wished everyone away
But now he didn't have a choice

And the angels won′t talk to me anymore
The angels won't talk to me anymore

On the day that she left
She says it was for the best
She said, "A person's got to grow"


She left all of her friends
She says, "Everything ends
And we′ll stay in touch, you know"

But she couldn′t believe
She couldn't hardly conceive
That they′d take her at her word

Staring at the wall
Wishing anyone would call
Man, it all seemed so absurd

And the angels won't talk to me anymore
The angels won′t talk to me anymore

On the day that she left

He thought he never would regret
What he said or what he'd done
He had struggled for years
Against frustration and tears
And now he didn′t need anyone


But after throwing all the switches
And pulling out the stitches
Man, everything fell so flat
And he thought about leaving
To show how badly he was needing
But it was much too late for that

And the angels won't talk to me anymore
The angels won't talk to me anymore
The angels won′t talk to me anymore
The angels won′t talk to me anymore

The angels
The angels
