[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 


[Chorus]

         
And they say 
              
She's in the C

 
lass A Team 
              
Stuck in her d

 
aydream 
              
Been this way 


since 18 
              
But lately her


 face seems 
              
Slowly sinking


, wasting 
              
Crumbling like


 pastries 
              
And they screa

The worst thin

e free to us 
            
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

 
y throat 
         
Call girl, no 


phone 


[Chorus]

         
And they say 
              
She's in the C
