The A Team
a team
white lips pale face
breathing in snowflakes
burnt lungs, sour taste
lights gone, days end
struggling to pay rent
long nights, strange men
and they say
she's in the class A team
stuck in her daydream
been this way since 18
but lately her face seems
slowly sinking, wasting
crumbling like pastries
and they scream
the worst things in life
come free to us
'cause we're just under
the upper hand
and go mad for a couple
grams
and she dont want to go
outside, tonight
and in a pipe she flies to
the motherland
or sells love to another man
its too cold outside
for angels to fly, angels
to fly
ripped gloves, raincoat
tried to swim, and stay afloat
dry house, wet clothes
loose change, bank notes
weary-eyed, dry throat
call girl, no phone
and they say
shes in the class A team
stuck in her daydream
been this way since 18
but lately her face seems
slowly sinking, wasting
crumbling like pastries
and they scream
the worst things in life
come free to us
'cause we're just under
the upper hand
and go mad for a couple
grams
and she dont want to go
outside, tonight
and in a pipe she flies to the
motherland
or sells love to another man
its too cold outside
for angels to fly
an angel will die, covered
in white
with closed eyes,
and hoping for a better life
this time, we'll fade out
tonight
straight down the line
and they say
shes in the class A team
stuck in her daydream
been this way since 18
but lately her face seems
slowly sinking, wasting
crumbling like pastries
and they scream
the worst things in life
come free to us
and we're all under the
upper hand
and go mad for a couple
grams
and she don't want to go
outside tonight
and in a pipe she flies to
the motherland
or sells love to another man
its too cold outside
for angels to fly, angels
to fly
to fly, fly
for angels to fly, to fly, to fly
angels to die
