Black angel, carry me down
Jacket and shoes, pistols and pens
Poor boy feels like I ain't got no friends
I wake up nervous, Sunday is gloomy
Eyes on the sidewalk look right through me
I hear myself breathing, trying to focus
Goodbye Babylon, wandering hopeless
The drifter, singing the lament of a non-tryer
The isolation makes me want to set myself on fire
I don't live anywhere
Black angel, carry me down
I pick all the flowers and extinguish the flames
The insanities, I remember all of their names
Bottom of the barrel, it's no way how to be
The cold and the silence beats the s*** out of me
But the windows are wooden and I shouldn't complain
I'll just keep digging until I'm good and insane
Cobwebs and applecores, old ghosts and vestiges
Woman at the desk says I got no messages
I don't live anywhere
Black angel, carry me down
Lost in a haze of fantasy and folklore
The woman I love don't want me no more
Inebriated, alleviated of pain and speaking wild
Full grown man reduced to a weakling child
Hard of hearing, short tempered and long viewing
Completely disappeared and cleared of all wrong-doing
Challenging the calendars, and tempting the clocks
Tree knocked over, inside an empty box
I don't live anywhere
Black angel, carry me down
Jacket and shoes, pistols and pens
Poor boy feels like I ain't got no friends
I wake up nervous, Sunday is gloomy
Eyes on the sidewalk look right through me
I hear myself breathing, trying to focus
Goodbye Babylon, wandering hopeless
The drifter, singing the lament of a non-tryer
The isolation makes me want to set myself on fire
I don't live anywhere
Black angel, carry me down
I pick all the flowers and extinguish the flames
The insanities, I remember all of their names
Bottom of the barrel, it's no way how to be
The cold and the silence beats the s*** out of me
But the windows are wooden and I shouldn't complain
I'll just keep digging until I'm good and insane
Cobwebs and applecores, old ghosts and vestiges
Woman at the desk says I got no messages
I don't live anywhere
Black angel, carry me down
Lost in a haze of fantasy and folklore
The woman I love don't want me no more
Inebriated, alleviated of pain and speaking wild
Full grown man reduced to a weakling child
Hard of hearing, short tempered and long viewing
Completely disappeared and cleared of all wrong-doing
Challenging the calendars, and tempting the clocks
Tree knocked over, inside an empty box

Black angel, carry me down
