Angels - Standing Over You lyrics

(Brewster-Eccles)

There's a man at the backdoor

got a special feel

looking over his shoulder

another hollow deal

goin' to show you a mountain

goin' to offer you pearls

goin' to make you believe

you can shake the world

Soft words of wisdom, tender loving care

gold watch gains an hour, time to spare

and they give you a title

all the things you adore

funny how you're as hungry as before

Like an 8-ball broken in two

another hero standing over you

So they closed your number

didn't like your style

some off duty business in the private file

when they showed you a mountain

when they offered you pearls

did you really believe

you could shake the world

Like an 8-ball broken in two

another hero standing over you

Would y' give if y' could

would y' fall where y' stood

would y' shatter, would it matter

would you lie down and die like you should

Like an 8-ball broken in two

another hero standing over you
