A modern day Romeo and Juliet   American Tragedy   Low rent, high-rise lovers who met at the end of   Coronado Street   Crucifixes made in California gold   Two worlds bought to collide   Heaven can't help you if you go   Faster than angels fly      [Chorus:]   Well they burn the candle at both ends   As they danced into the flame   Making love and making plans   Diving Mother Mary insane   Strong as the beads of a rosary   Never too young to die   Some souls only know one speed   Faster than angels fly      Ghost-haunted barrio in Hollywood   Graffiti stained wailin' wall   Dead-end street gang up to no good   Out to make a retribution call   Sweet innocence caught in crossfire's fate   Too late to draw the line   Bullets can blow your dreams away   Faster than angels fly      [Chorus:]   Well they burn the candle at both ends   As they danced into the flame   Making love and making plans   Diving Mother Mary insane   Strong as the beads of a rosary   Never too young to die   Some souls only know one speed   Faster than angels fly      They were still holding hands    when all hell broke loose   They both left this world   with more than most truth lovers do      [Chorus:]   Well they burn the candle at both ends   As they danced into the flame   Making love and making plans   Diving Mother Mary insane   Strong as the beads of a rosary   Never too young to die   Some souls only know one speed   Faster than angels fly      Strong as the beads of a rosary   Never too young to die   Some souls only know one speed   Faster than angels fly
