Angels Lyrics - Tales Of A Librarian - Tori Amos

And with a wink and a smile you toss your instructions on 

How to catch a train while it's moving 

You always were the one that kept us all guessing 

How you could survive the fall you had 

From medicine men to my DJ friends 

They all have said, "He's got to watch his back" 

They're trapping angels by the Potomac 

But it's not how you think, you'd be surprised 

They liberate your dreamscape 

Till you can't remember to recall 

Where your wings have gone 

Tell me where they've gone

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

From Jordan to Chicago another child is born 

Trusting that we'll get it right this time 

I should've worn my glasses, you said just to trust 

Then you chose to sign the dotted line 

From modern Magdalenes to my DJ friends 

They all have said, "he's got to watch his back" 

They're trapping angels by the Potomac 

But it's not how you think, you'd be surprised 

They liberate your dreamscape 

Till you can't remember to recall 

Where your wings have gone 

Before I close my eyes at night 

I can still see you smiling 

Before the truth was buried alive 

Did we prize it 

Before you change the world 

Maybe, boy, you should change your girl 

They're trapping angels by the Potomac 

They're trapping angels, lord, I know this 

They're trapping angels by the Potomac 

But we're getting closer now 

I said we're getting closer 

To where they've gone 

Tell me where they've gone 

Tell me where they've gone 

Now it won't be long
