Alley Of The Angels Lyrics - John Mellencamp

Another sad sad day 

The world's KO'd again 

And I used to always say 

No one could hit, like my old man 

Do you really have to be so tough 

Is it necessary to talk so (son of a bitchin) rough 

Hey ain't there some place I could fit in 

Could I find a little action there 

Hey wait just a minute, I don't really care 

Any place is bound to be better 

Than where I'm standin' 

Yeah I wish that for just one day 

Hey ya know I wouldn't have to be afraid 

And ashamed of its work 

And its disgusting glory

[Chorus:] 

Welcome to the alley of the angels 

Hey they say your eyes can gleam 

When you can a just tell the truth all night 

(And you can a chase them dreams all night) 

Welcome to the alley of the angels 

(They say) The reckless young hearts 

Beat to (the flash of) the neon lights 

Look at those kids, they're such a mess 

Just can't teach 'em no respect 

They want the world 

And they want the best on a silver platter 

Hey but ain't that, sometime son 

The kids grew up and the world moved on 

They're just lookin' for some place in the sun 

So they would not shatter 

[Chorus]
