Artist: Ted Leo and The Pharmacists
Song: the angels' share
Oh, lonely day
Oh, led astray
Oh, burden on the land
Oh, always same
Oh, nothing changed
Oh, urge to bite the hand
Withholding on
Your promise to the air
Will only lead
To something bad, I swear
You can't escape
Escape the angels share
Down again
It seems a losing fight
Yet, down again
I sit and try to write
An open letter
To a President
Or melodies
To help a girl pay rent
We saved and saved
Only to find them spent
Now, the long road
Leads me to your door
Feed me food and heal my health
And offer me your floor
There you'll find me lying
There in the morn
If I don't wake
You've got to let me go on
Let me go on my way
Do try
Get by
'Cause on and on
The tides are surely come
As sure enough
They'll leave again as one
And you and I
We will or won't be here
And sure enough, the angels
Take their share, but where?
I'm not, I'm not so sure
I think it's fair
I'm not so sure
I think they care
