[Verse 1]

         
Step out the f

              
ront door like

   
 a ghost
              
into the fog w

And in between

 the moon and 

you
    
The angels get

 a better view
           
of the crumbli

              
ng difference 

        
between wrong

Maria says she

's dying.
            
Through the do

or I hear her

She walks alon
