Angels

And with a wink and a smile you toss your instructions on How to catch a train while it's moving You always were the one that kept us all guessing How you could survive the fall you had From medicine men to my DJ friends They all have said, "He's got to watch his back" They're trapping angels by the Potomac But it's not how you think, you'd be surprised They liberate your dreamscape Till you can't remember to recall Where your wings have gone Tell me where they've gone From Jordan to Chicago another child is born Trusting that we'll get it right this time I should've worn my glasses, you said just to trust Then you chose to sign the dotted line From modern Magdalenes to my DJ friends They all have said, "he's got to watch his back" They're trapping angels by the Potomac But it's not how you think, you'd be surprised They liberate your dreamscape Till you can't remember to recall Where your wings have gone Before I close my eyes at night I can still see you smiling Before the truth was buried alive Did we prize it Before you change the world Maybe, boy, you should change your girl They're trapping angels by the Potomac They're trapping angels, lord, I know this They're trapping angels by the Potomac But we're getting closer now I said we're getting closer To where they've gone Tell me where they've gone Tell me where they've gone Now it won't be long
