Pretty wings get nervous when the shadows grow long
On the banks of this lake, the storm will come
When that wind shuffles in, one more time then she's gone
This was already spelled in the stars
She'd turn a cheek like Jesus
Forgive him just like St Paul
She needs a city of angels
To fly away from it all
Early on she knew it, knew it, something ya was clearly amiss
He did his talking with an elevated volume ya and sometimes a fist
With a fire in his eyes, he couldn't resist
And this was already spelled in the scars
She'd turn a cheek like Jesus
Forgive him just like St Paul
She needs a city of angels
To fly away from it all
He was always swinging it side to side
Hope on a string just caught her eye
She didn't know she was hypnotized
He'd always cut and then cauterize
He caught her eyes
And warning bells called out and cut a crack through the air
It echoed like the bells neath the steeples of the churches
Ya, but she couldn't hear
She'd turn a cheek like Jesus
Forgive him just like St Paul
She needs a city of angels
To fly away from it all
He thinks he's just like Jesus
A prophet in his own town
But he'll take the silver, twist the nail
Kick the dog and cheat and steal
Broken honor up for sale
King of this town
Ya, he ain't wearing no crown
Ya, he ain't wearing no crown
He'd always say vile things
Wouldn't let her have nice things
He thought he had clipped her wings
Now she cut that string
She's a bird set free
She's a bird set free
On a prayer and a wing
It's time to sing
She'd turn a cheek like Jesus
Forgive him just like St Paul
She found a city of angels
And got away from it all
On the banks of this lake, the storm will come
When that wind shuffles in, one more time then she's gone
This was already spelled in the stars
She'd turn a cheek like Jesus
Forgive him just like St Paul
She needs a city of angels
To fly away from it all
Early on she knew it, knew it, something ya was clearly amiss
He did his talking with an elevated volume ya and sometimes a fist
With a fire in his eyes, he couldn't resist
And this was already spelled in the scars
She'd turn a cheek like Jesus
Forgive him just like St Paul
She needs a city of angels
To fly away from it all
He was always swinging it side to side
Hope on a string just caught her eye
She didn't know she was hypnotized
He'd always cut and then cauterize
He caught her eyes
And warning bells called out and cut a crack through the air
It echoed like the bells neath the steeples of the churches
Ya, but she couldn't hear
She'd turn a cheek like Jesus
Forgive him just like St Paul
She needs a city of angels
To fly away from it all
He thinks he's just like Jesus
A prophet in his own town
But he'll take the silver, twist the nail
Kick the dog and cheat and steal
Broken honor up for sale
King of this town
Ya, he ain't wearing no crown
Ya, he ain't wearing no crown
He'd always say vile things
Wouldn't let her have nice things
He thought he had clipped her wings
Now she cut that string
She's a bird set free
She's a bird set free
On a prayer and a wing
It's time to sing
She'd turn a cheek like Jesus
Forgive him just like St Paul
She found a city of angels
And got away from it all
