angel

VERSE 1 There’s a girl in the rearview With the whole city on her side Everybody loves a story When she’s living a dream, dressed to ride There’s a halo in the headlights There’s a cry beneath the flash And nobody asked the question If the memory’s gonna last PRE-CHORUS Tell me, darling, tell me slowly Which parts are we supposed to keep? The truth wears different dresses it could cut deep CHORUS Oh, rewrite it like a love song Make the cruel parts disappear Turn a little bit of tragedy Into something we can hear Give the crowd what’s holy And the guilty something sweet Everybody loves an angel Till her wings break flyin’ from the scene VERSE 2 There’s a letter on the table There’s a photograph upside down There’s a version for the family And another for the town The devil’s in the details It’s all polished for the show the more you cast spells The less anybody knows PRE-CHORUS Tell me, darling, kill me slowly Which parts are we supposed to keep? When the wolf wears different dresses You’re sort of like a sheep CHORUS Oh, rewrite it like a love song Make the cruel parts disappear Turn a little bit of tragedy Into something they can hear Give the crowd somebody holy Give the guilty something sweet Everybody loves an angel Till the wings break flyin’ from being seen BRIDGE Whatever looks divine , somethin’ to buy Meanwhile you’re confusing broken voices Worlds away, but by your side crown the wounded Put a spotlight on the pain And by the time the curtain fades You’ve forgotten why you came FINAL CHORUS So rewrite it like a love song Make us sing along What a beautiful illusion Leading us on Give the crowd something juicy Send the guilty something sweet Everybody loves an angel Till the wings don’t match the beat OUTRO And the cameras keep rolling in the deep While the credits get replaced Madness was in the silence And everyone was asleep Cuz everyone’s escaped Where the party girls play Oh, a lonely shadow underneath like a joker forgot her queen Just believin’ everything you see
