"The Angels Hung Around" lyrics - RILO KILEY
I been had and I been held
With the ghosts at bay
I been oaked and I been doped
And carried away
I been charred and I been scarred
On my own face
But I never thought I'd see you as I did
Today
[Hook:]
'Til the angels hung around
'Til the angels hung around
'Til the angels hung around
As they carried me away
I been clubbed and I been snubbed
By the dogs of L.A
And I been burned and I been learned
In the same city
I been whored and I been gored
I been less and I been more
But I never thought I'd see you
As I did today
[Hook:]
'Til the angels hung around
'Til the angels hung around
'Til the angels hung around
As they carried me away
[Interlude]
Ooh!
Ooh!
Ooh!
Ooh!
[Bridge:]
You were stuck in the badlands
Acting like a bad bad man
I been photographed and painted up
And I been in love only once
And I feared the best and loved the worst
And insisted that I go first
And watch your eyes as they poured
And I never really loved you more
And I never thought I'd see you
As I did today
[Hook:]
'Til the angels hung around
'Til the angels hung around
'Til the angels hung around
As they carried you away
[Outro:]
And they put you in the ground
When the angels hung around
And the angels hung around
As they carried me away
