Angels - 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

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
