He was groovin'
and that was when he coulda sworn
the room was movin'
But that was only in his mind
He was sailin'
he never really seemed to notice
vision failin'
'cause that was all part of the high
Sweat was pourin' --
he couldn't take it
The room was exploding --
he might not make it.
Angel Dust/Please, children would you listen.
Angel Dust/Just ain't where it's at.
Angel Dust/You won't remember what you're
missin', but down some dead end streets
there ain't no turnin' back.

They were standin'
ev'rybody in a circle;
the whole family
listening to the preacher's words
Sis was cryin'
She alone held all the secrets
'bout his dyin'
tears fallin' to earth
Maybe her fault
He was so trusting
God only knew why
they was dustin'!
Angel Dust/Please children would you listen.
Angel Dust/Just ain't where it's at.
Angel Dust/You won't remember what you're
missin', but down some dead end streets
there ain't no turnin' back.

Living
Running,
Out on the streets at night,
Searching,
Hoping,
For the right connection, coz',
Need it, want it,
You know I've got to have it,
Takes me higher than anything I know.

Angel Dust,
Need a shot to see me through the day,
Angel Dust,
Want a lot I've got to get away.

I live my life,
Like there's no tomorrow,
Take no
chances
I'm drowning all my sorrows coz' I,
Need it, want it,
You know I've got to have it,
Takes me higher than anything I know.

Laughing,
Crying,
Every night and day,
I know,
You know,
That I'm a different man because I,
Need it, want it,
You know I've got to have it,
Takes me higher than anything I know.

What shall I say
I fear you will betray me
How many ways
Can you prolong this tragedy
Who told you that I would be back
You came here to seize my freedom
I will send you falling slowly
To the earth I see below me

You never knew
With open arms I came to you
Judging me so safe to be with
Mistakes you made that you can't live with
What you get is what you need
When you watch the blood but you don't bleed
You make me feel like a masked delusion
A man whose life's became illusion

broken dreams of flyin birds
dirty hands on skinny arms
just hanging down her shoulders
like a deadly young old tree
and a bit of blood rollin',gently down her nose
on the floor the princess, strikes the pose

say goodbye to angel dust
the only angel that you trust
say goodbye to angel dust
the only angel that you trust

dirty fingers on her hands
doin' stuff that she can't stand
opening doors don't want to see
and closin one she wanna be
broken wings by the real world
princess diving on her own,
on the floor the princess, strikes the pose

say goodbye to angel dust
the only angel that you trust
say goodbye to angel dust
the only angel that you trust

the floor is cold
her blood too hot
the pain could go
just with one shot
sleep little princess
one last caress
one last pearl of blood
rollin on your world
so slow
you almost touch it
the rainbow

sometimes I do wonder
sometimes I do wonder

say goodbye to angel dust
the only angel that you trust
say goodbye to angel dust
the only angel that you trust
