Sun came up it was another day   And the sun went down you were blown away   Why'd you let go of your guitar   Why'd you ever let it go that far drunken angel      Could've held on to that long smooth neck   Let your hand remember every fret   Fingers touching each shiny string   But you let go of everything drunken angel      Drunken angel, you're on the other side   Drunken angel, you're on the other side      Followers would cling to you   Hang around just to meet you   Some threw roses at your feet   And watch you pass out on the street drunken angel      Feed you and pay off all your debts   Kiss your brow taste your sweat   Write about your soul your guts   Criticize you and wish you luck drunken angel      Drunken angel, you're on the other side   Drunken angel, you're on the other side      Some kind of savior singing the blues   A derelict in your duct tape shoes   Your orphan clothes and your long dark hair   Looking like you didn't care drunken angel      Blood spilled out from the hole in your heart   Over the strings of your guitar   The worn down places in the wood   That once made you feel so good drunken angel      Drunken angel, you're on the other side   Drunken angel, you're on the other side      Sun came up it was another day   And the sun went down you were blown away   Why'd you let go of your guitar   Why'd you ever let it go that far, drunken angel, drunken angel
