VERSE

White lips, pale face

Breathing in snowflakes

Burnt lungs, sour taste

Light's gone, day's end

Struggling to pay rent

Long nights, strange men

CHORUS

And they say she's in the class

A Team

Stuck in her daydream

Been this way since eighteen but lately

Her face seems slowly sinking, wasting

Crumbling like pastries, and they

scream

CHORUS

The worst things in life come free to us

'Cause we're just under the upper hand

And go mad for a couple grams

And she don't want to go outside tonight

And in a pipe she flies to the motherland

Or sells love to another man

It's too cold outside

For angels to fly

Angels

to fly

VERSE

Ripped gloves, raincoat

Tried to swim, and stay afloat

Dry house, wet clothes

Loose change, bank notes

Weary-eyed, dry throat

Call girl, no phone

CHORUS

And they say she's in the

Class A Team Stuck in her daydream

Been this way since eighteen,

But lately her face seems

Slowly sinking, wasting

Crumbling like pastries

And they scream

CHORUS

The worst things in life come free to us

'Cause we're just under the upper hand

And go mad for a couple grams

And she don't want to go outside

Tonight

And in a pipe she flies to the motherland

Or sells love to another man

It's too cold outside

For angels to fly

BRIDGE

An angel will die

Covered in white

Closed eye,

and hoping for a better life

This time, we'll fade out tonight

Straight down the line (oh)

| F#m | D |

CHORUS

And they say she's in the class

A Team

Stuck in her daydream

Been this way since eighteen,

But lately her face seems

Slowly sinking, wasting

Crumbling like pastries, they scream

CHORUS

The worst things in life come free to us

And we're (oh) all under the upper hand (Oh)

Go mad for a couple grams (Oh) and

We don't want to go outside (oh) tonight And

In a (oh) pipe, we fly to the motherland (Oh)

Or sell love to another man (Oh)

It's too cold outside (oh) for

angels to fly (oh, oh),

Angels to fly (oh) To

Fly, (oh), fly

OUTRO

For angels to fly (oh),

To fly, to fly (oh)

For angels to die
