Changeling,
Your Flesh,
Necromancy,
Your ashes,
No tomorrow,
Your omens,
Says Asrael
Lucifer & Gabriel
Host & The Holy Ghost
Dust
Superstitions
Voices...
----------
Little girl kneels
At the foot of the bed,
Angels and demons
Play in her head.
She carries them around
Wherever she goes,
She puts on a brave face
But somehow it shows.
Little boy stands
At the foot of the stairs,
Hoping that someone
Will answer his prayers.
He puts out the candle –
It catches his eye
As ten thousand spaceships fill the sky.
----------
CHORUS
Angels and demons,
Omens and requiems;
Peers and sightseers,
Merchants with souvenirs.
----------
Little boy runs
To the top of the stairs,
A voice in his head
Says "Don't worry, we care.
We've been watching you
Standing there,
Cascading messages
Through the air –
"We're the angels and demons
That play with your hair,
We're the angels and demons,
And we're always there.
We are the breeze
At the well of the stairs;
We are the noises
When no-one is there."
----------
REPEAT CHORUS
----------
The sky feeds the earth
And the earth feeds me –
Come with us and we'll let you see,
The lofty spiders
Climb swiftly away,
Our rumbling machine
Takes us to another day.
Little boy smiles
As they whisk him away –
"My angels and demons
Have come to play.
Monsters with claws,
Wings and all!
I can walk through the air
Without touching the floor."
----------
REPEAT CHORUS
----------
Little girl cries
At the foot of the bed,
Angels and demons
Play in her head.
She carries them around
Wherever she goes –
She puts on a brave face
But somehow it shows.
A spaceship descends,
The demon spreads his wings,
Says he's here to be
Earth's friend again.
Little girl cries
At the foot of the bed,
Wondering what it is
That plays in her head.
Who knows?
It shows
Who knows?
It shows...
Who knows?
