Workin’ Them Angels Lyrics by Rush

The Studio Albums (1989-2007)

2007

[Verse 1]
Driving away to the east and into the past
History recedes in my rear-view mirror
Carried away on a wave of music down a desert road
The memory humming at the heart of a factory town

[Chorus]
All my life
I've been working them angels overtime
Riding and driving and living
So close to the edge
Working them angels
Working them angels
Working them angels
Overtime

[Verse 2]
Riding through the Range of Light to the wounded city
Filling my spirit with the wildest wish to fly
Oh, taking the high road, taking that high road to the wounded city
Memory strumming at the heart of a moving picture

[Chorus]
All this time
I've been working them angels overtime
Riding and driving and flying
Just over the edge
Working them angels
Working them angels
Working them angels
Overtime

[Instrumental break]

[Verse 3]
Driving down the razor's edge 'tween the past and the future
Oh, turn up the music and smile
Get carried away on the songs and stories of vanished times
The memory drumming at the heart of an English winter
Memories beating at the heart of an African village

[Chorus]
All my life
I've been working them angels overtime
Riding and driving and living
So close to the edge
Working them angels (Working them angels)
Working them angels (Working them angels)
Working them angels
Overtime

[Outro]
Working them angels
Working them angels
