Kathy Mar - Vapor Angels lyrics

rate me

1985 Kathy Mar

You and I see derelicts and winos passing by

But he sees vapor angels, and it makes him want to cry

And he's learned to find forgetfulness inside an empty glass

And his worst fears come to pass.

Waiting for the mushroom clouds to take us all away

We will fly as vapor angels on that bright atomic day

So he wallows in his hopelessness and listens for the sound

Of bombers leaving the ground.

Come on vapor angel, take my hand and fly

From the bottom of your midnight to the rainbows in my sky

All you vapor angels in hopeless harmony

Learn to sing a solo line and let your songs run free.

Once when I was feeling lost I saw up in the sky

A band of vapor angels with a tear in every eye

They hovered in their sorrow, then they left without a trace

And each one wore your face.

Every time I sing the blues, often when I'm high

I pray to vapor angels and I wait for their reply.

And I hate the roads that took you off to somewhere warm and blue

And I know I'll miss you, too.

Come on vapor angel, take my hand and fly

From the bottom of your midnight to the rainbows in my sky

All you vapor angels in hopeless harmony

Learn to sing a solo line and let your songs run free.
