The Angels' Share Lyrics - Ted Leo & The Pharmacists

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
