Testo di Tarnished Angel

Tarnished Angel : I thank God for relentless thirst Corn liquor can't speak unless you drink it first I toasted him before the set Shouldn't fly a plane drunk on anisette He counseled through the bourbon haze Never use a cruelty when a joke will do in its place I always drink before the race It's a savage world not afraid to show a savage face In a world of swarming flies Not an angel or an athlete could live so high To clip the pylon's edge It's a rookie mistake, it'll be on the rookie's head The crowd's a rapacious beast You can feel its hunger before every feast Thanks for advice my sodden friend I'll look deep inside to see if I belong with the men Not one of you A tarnished angel On the night I said goodbye It was for effect I dried my eyes
