[Verse 1]


White lips, pa

le face
              
Breathing in s

  
nowflakes
              
Burnt lungs, s

    
our taste

Light's gone, 

day's end
              
Struggling to 

 
pay rent
              
Long nights, s

      
trange men


[Pre-Chorus]

      
And they say
              
She's in the C

Stuck in her d

Been this way 

      
since 18
              
But lately her

  
 face seems
              
Slowly sinking

   
, wasting
              
Crumbling like

  
 pastries

And they scream
     
The worst thin

[Chorus]

            
Cos we're just

            
 under the upp

erhand

And go mad for

 a couple gram

s
            
And she don't 

             
want to go out

 
side tonight
            
And in a pipe 

              
she flies to t

    
he Motherland

Or sells love 

to another man
           
It's too cold 

    
outside
              
For angels to 

    
fly
            
Angels to fly

   


[Verse 2]


Ripped gloves,

 raincoat
              
Tried to swim 

        
and stay afloa

t
             
Dry house, wet

  
 clothes

Loose change, 

bank notes
             
Weary-eyed, dr

Call girl, no

[Bridge]

            
An angel will

Covered in whi

Closed eye
         
And hoping for
