God Lifts Up The Lowly Lyrics - Ezra Furman

Some angels will carry you homeward 

Other angels you don't wanna meet 

My guardian angel's got wings of tinfoil 

And cigarettes found in the street 

My angel's got eyes like a housing project 

He was born inside a guitar 

And I can't forget his red lips and eyelashes 

And his "How'd we end up where we are?" 

There's nothing doing on the main streets 

Let's take the alley for the evening 

And we're driving in a car that won't slow down 

Making ourselves up in the rear view mirror

I know God lifts up the lowly 

I know God lifts up the lowly 

We're searching the trunk every morning 

We tore out a tracking device 

And I pray for plagues to come down on this Egypt 

And I dream of blood, fire and lice 

I wake with my coat for a blanket 

My angel's been up for an hour 

I've looked deep into this frail human body 

And I know that I carry a power 

We'll never make it on the main streets 

They'll force us back into the alley ways 

And we're re-arranging furniture 

In a burning house 

I know God lifts up the lowly 

I know God lifts up the lowly
