Toyah - Angels & Demons lyrics
rate meChangeling<br />
The flesh<br />
Necromancy<br />
Your ashes<br />
No tomorrow<br />
Love ???<br />
Says Azrael<br />
Lucifer and Gabriel<br />
Host and the Holy Ghost<br />
Dust<br />
Superstitions<br />
Voices<br />
<br />
Little girl kneels at the foot of the bed;<br />
Angels and demons play in her head.<br />
She carries them around Wherever she goes,<br />
She puts on a brave face but somehow it shows.<br />
<br />
Little boy stands at the foot of the stairs,<br />
Hoping that someone will answer his prayers.<br />
He puts out the candle, it catches his eye<br />
As ten thousand spaceships fill the sky.<br />
<br />
Angels and demons;<br />
Omens and requiems;<br />
Peers and sightseers,<br />
Merchants with souvenirs.<br />
<br />
Little boy runs to the top of the stairs,<br />
A voice in his head says “Don't worry, we care.<br />
We've been watching you standing there,<br />
Cascading messages through the air<br />
<br />
“We're the angels and demons that play with your hair,<br />
We're the angels and demons, and we're always there.<br />
We are the breeze at the well of the stairs;<br />
We are the noises when no-one is there.”<br />
<br />
Angels and demons;<br />
Omens and requiems;<br />
Peers and sightseers,<br />
Merchants with souvenirs.<br />
<br />
The sky feeds the earth and the earth feeds me<br />
Come with us and we'll let you see,<br />
The lofty spiders climb swiftly away,<br />
Our rumbling machine takes us to another day.<br />
<br />
Little boy smiles as they whisk him away<br />
“My angels and demons have come to play.<br />
Monsters with claws, wings and all!<br />
I can walk through the air without touching the floor.”<br />
<br />
Angels and demons;<br />
Omens and requiems;<br />
Peers and sightseers,<br />
Merchants with souvenirs.<br />
<br />
Little girl cries at the foot of the bed,<br />
Angels and demons play in her head.<br />
She carries them around wherever she goes – <br />
She puts on a brave face but somehow it shows.<br />
<br />
A spaceship descends, the demon spreads his wings,<br />
Says he's here to be Earth's friend again.<br />
Little girl cries at the foot of the bed,<br />
Wondering what it is that plays in her head.<br />
Who knows?<br />
It shows<br />
Who knows?<br />
It shows...<br />
Who knows?
