Vapor Angels Lyrics

Vapor Angels lyrics

You and I see derelicts and winos passing by

But he sees vapor angels, and
it makes him want to cry

And he's learned to find forgetfulness inside an
empty glass

And his worst fears come to pass.



Waiting for
the mushroom clouds to take us all away

We will fly as vapor angels on
that bright atomic day

So he wallows in his hopelessness and listens for
the sound

Of bombers leaving the ground.



         Come on
vapor angel, take my hand and fly

         From the bottom of your
midnight to the rainbows in my sky

         All you vapor angels in
hopeless harmony

         Learn to sing a solo line and let your songs
run free.



Once when I was feeling lost I saw up in the sky

A
band of vapor angels with a tear in every eye

They hovered in their
sorrow, then they left without a trace

And each one wore your face.



Every time I sing the blues, often when I'm high

I pray to
vapor angels and I wait for their reply.

And I hate the roads that took
you off to somewhere warm and blue

And I know I'll miss you, too.



         Come on vapor angel, take my hand and fly

        
From the bottom of your midnight to the rainbows in my sky

         All
you vapor angels in hopeless harmony

         Learn to sing a solo line
and let your songs run free.
