City of Angels lyrics

Heaven, is this heaven where we are?

See them walking, if you dare, if you call that walking

Stumble, stagger, fall and drag themselves

Along the streets of heaven.

Where is the blessed table to feed all who hunger on Earth

Welcomed and seated, each one joyfully served?

See them walking, if you dare, if you call that walking

Stumble, stagger, fall and drag themselves

Along the streets of heaven.

Where is the halo that should glow 'round your face

And where are the wings that should grow from your shoulder blades?

Show them to me

These are sobering sights I've seen in the City of Angels

Have all been one rude awakening

That was due to me in Heaven

There would have been heavenly music, I was convinced before

A host of the dearly to meet me with Hosannas sung at the door

But these are sobering sights I've seen in the City of Angels

Have all been one rude awakening that was due to me in Heaven

In this city of fallen angels
