The rope that's wrapped around me   Is cutting through my skin   And the doubts that have surrounded me   Are finding their way in   I keep it close to me, like a holy man prays   In my desperate hour   It's better, better that way      So I'll come by and see you again   I'll be such a very good friend   Have mercy on my soul   I will never let you know   Where my mind has been      Angels never came down   There's no one here   They want to hang around   But if they knew   If they knew you at all   Then one by one the angels   Angels would fall      I have crept into your temple   I have slept upon your pew   I have dreamed of the divinity   Inside and out of you      I want it more than truth   I can taste it on my breath   I would give my life   Just for a little, a little death      So I'll come by and see you again   I'll be just a very good friend   I will not look upon your face   I will not touch upon your grace   Your ecclesiastic skin      Angels never came down   There's no one here   They want to hang around   But if they knew   If they knew you at all   Then one by one the angels   Angels would fall   (Aah)   Angels   (Aah)   Angels would fall   (Aah)   Sweet angels   (Aah)      I'll come by and see you again   And I'll have to be a very good friend   If I whisper they will know   I'll just turn around and go   You will never know my sin      Angels never came down   There's no one here   They want to hang around   But if they knew   If they knew you at all   Then one by one the angels   Angels would fall      There's no one here   They want to hang around   But if they knew   If they knew you at all   Then one by one the angels   Angels would fall      Oh angels   Angels would fall
