Fallen Angel Lyrics - Brave New World - Styx

Written by Dennis deyoung 

Lead vocals by Dennis deyoung 

 

Hell nobody's perfect 

One hundred percent 

No saint, no pope, no king no queen 

No president 

 

But our hunger for heroes 

Has made us blind 

We seek salvation 

From the cup of human kind 

 

But every time we hear the voice 

Of some new Abraham 

We wake too late to realize 

It was just another scam 

 

Fallen angel, fallen angel 

Well I guess you were no angel after all 

Fallen angel, fallen angel 

You always take us with you when you fall 

 

I said nobody's perfect 

From head to toe 

Not Einstein or Elvis or Lenin or Marx 

Or Marilyn Monroe 

 

Cause it's mostly illusion 

In flesh and bone 

An image, a look, a song or a book 

That we all claim for our own 

 

But even in the best of us 

There lies beneath the skin 

The tragic flaw in nature's law 

That's bound to do us in 

 

Fallen angel, fallen angel 

Well I guess you were no angel after all 

Fallen angel, fallen angel 

You always take us with you when you fall 

 

Pretty faces up on the silver screen 

Flawless bodies on covers of magazines 

They all look perfect to us 

So rich and cool and bored 

But hold the presses boys 

They've checked into Betty ford 

 

Turns out nobody's perfect 

From a to z 

It's best to follow your heart 

Then to follow me 

Cause I'm only a singer 

Playin' a song 

And I've just been making it up 

As I went along 

 

See I met a man who told me once 

sincerity's the key 

And once you learn to fake it 

Son you're gonna be home free 

Fallen angel, fallen angel 

Well I guess you were no angel after all 

Fallen angel, fallen angel 

You always take us with you when you fall
