Oh the young boy and the old man in me
Settle differences so differently
The musician and the one who does me favors
Appear to neighbors that don’t ask questions
I understand the theory of a melody
It’s clearly stated by arithmetic
Eliminating any trick
That I might want to play on you
I thought that I was older
So I direct this song to you
And wish that I’d been bolder but
Angels fall
And though I may not be one at all
Angels fall
Angels fall
And though I may not be one at all
Angels fall
A long and careful ride to the verses
Would have fit my needs
Much better than these hotel curses
If all the nurses and all accounts men
Couldn’t find the crack in the cup
They would have if they’d known that when
A soul reaching out to heaven
Roles the dice and up comes seven not six
Well I wish that lady luck
‘Cause she’s seen Mr. Wonderful
Go on vacation to some Godless nation
Please forgive me ‘cause
