Angels Lyrics by DeVotchKa

This Night Falls Forever

0

Come on empty your conscience and come clean for me
I would empty my pockets, times are lean you see
And they got us right where they want use
We’re just cogs in the machine
Come on empty your conscience and come clean for me

Oh tonight we’ll sleep the sleep of angels
We won’t have time
I can’t keep (on flight with danger [?])
And it ain’t right to be battened down like strangers
For tonight you will sleep just like an angel

Oh the look on your face is just priceless
Oh lord what have I done to invite this?
Oh the look of this place must be hopeless
I was hoping that you wouldn’t have noticed

And where we ain’t going
There ain’t nobody, nobody, nobody knows it
Like the dog in the story
That just keeps going, and going

Oh tonight we’ll sleep the sleep of angels
We won’t have time
I can’t keep (on flight with danger [?])
And it ain’t right to be battened down like strangers
For tonight you will sleep just like an angel

Oh the laid a maze before us
It’s come to my importance
As long as you ignore us
We’ll have days lost in the forest

And the hope of your love is
The hope of [?] is enormous
We’ll light signal fires and wave our arms
We’ll make our way before us

C’mon wrap up your sorrows
In the blankets that we borrowed
And we’ll march on like good soldiers
Into a world that’s getting colder and colder

And near this time tomorrow, all our troubles will be over
C’mon wrap up your sorrows
Come cry ourselves…

Tonight we’ll sleep the sleep of angels
We won’t have time
I can’t keep (on flight with danger [?])
And it ain’t right to be battened down like strangers
For tonight you will sleep just like an angel
