Three angels up above the street Each one playing a horn Dressed in green robes with wings that stick out They've been there since Christmas morn The wildest cat from Montana passes by in a flash Then a lady in a bright orange dress One U-Haul trailer, a truck with no wheels The Tenth Avenue bus goin' west The dogs and pigeons fly up and they flutter around A man with a badge skips by Three fellas crawlin' on their way back to work Nobody stops to ask why The bakery truck stops outside of that fence Where the angels stand high on their poles The driver peeks out, trying to find one face In this concrete world full of souls The angels play on their horns all day The whole earth in progression seems to pass by But does anyone hear the music they play Does anyone even try?

Billy's got a Ph.D. and Sara she's a teacher They love to rock 'n' roll and blow their brains out on the weekend Together they have built a world, a lot of it is real And we are here to ease them through the parts they can't conceal I smile and wave I smile and wave I smile and wave I smile and wave Now they're swearing up and down, they're coming off so clean Surely they will fall to their doom Another inch closer, closer to the railin' And nobody here is ever fooled I smile and wave (yeah) I smile and wave (yeah) I smile and wave (yeah) I smile and wave, yeah I smile and wave I smile and wave I smile and wave I smile and wave, yeah A lot of rain and fancy coffees Best suited couple I know They spent everything that they've ever harnessed Now tell me, how is your happy home?

Any given day, I can fade away It's all a joke my mind plays For what it is, it shouldn't go like this There's no reason for me to survive it Watching the news, look more like cartoons Where everyone, everywhere pays Getting tattoos on this ship of fools And watching it sail away Getting and spending no sign of goodwill The snowflakes are crushing my thoughts And don't look too closely 'cause it's bound to hurt And still, there's no answer from god Still, there's no answer from god Still, there's no answer from god Still There's no answer From god From god A motorcade, pouring rain Bow our heads, nothing left to say Better take a little moment now To be human All we give, all we have A lonely dance, nothing wrong with that And I know there's more to this Than just getting through it There's not a trick, it's just a fact Do our damnedest before we collapse Better take a little moment now To be human To be human To be human

Out here on the ocean Adrift upon the sea I'm staring at the stars now Ah, what's become of me? Can't even move a muscle I can't even think The waters all around me And I just wanna drink The storm has never ceased here And all the mothers cry When the darkness is afire Just don't look it in the eye Well, I'm a red meat eater Liar and a cheater And I hit the ground running Take everything I need I'm a red meat eater Liar and a cheater Always hit the ground running Take everything I need And you can watch me go Out here on the ocean I've been set adrift The water doesn't scare me It's just the people that I miss And the darkness at the bottom Has forgotten what's on top The storm has never ceased here And it'll never stop Well, I'm a red meat eater Liar and a cheater And I shook the hand of God I met him at my dealers What to do with the killing? And the heavy and the smell? And the existential action? And the fire pits of Hell? It's the deep end of the ocean It's the darkness of our sea Where no light is reflected Is that what's to become of me? To become of me? Well, I'm a red meat eater Liar and a cheater And I shook the hand of God I met him at my dealers What's to do with the killing? The heavy and the smell? The existential action? And the fire pits of Hell? It's so nice to see you all But my time is just a sliver The devil's on fire And he's rollin' down the river He's a red meat eater Liar and a cheater And he hits the ground running Takes everything he needs It's the deep end of the ocean It is the darkness of the sea Where no light is reflected Is that what's to become of me? To become of me? To become of me? To become of me?

Humiliation is a picture, and it's painful, but it fades Cruelty is so vivid, it's the picture frame of rage Pictures in the yearbook, pictures with your friends Pictures in the paper with your dates and who you've been Cave in on pavement with my mind clenched into a fist Feeling better, feeling better, feeling better, better than this I know, it'll make me go off if I never move I know, it'll make me go off if I never move Homicides and suicides and accidental shootings Reporters on the TV, well, they're frightening, but they're soothing Pictures on TV, pictures in my brain Pictures of the nice things that have quenched the thirst for rage Cave in on pavement with my mind clenched into a fist Feeling better, feeling better, feeling better, better than this, yeah I know, it'll make me go off if I never move I know, it'll make me go off if I never move Humiliation is a picture, and it's painful, but it fades Cruelty is so vivid, it's the picture frame of rage Pictures in the yearbook, pictures with your friends Pictures in the paper that tell you where you've been Cave in on pavement with my mind clenched into a fist Feeling better, feeling better, feeling better, better than this, yeah I know, it'll make me go off if I never move I know, it'll make me go off if I never move I know, it'll make me go off if I never move I know, it'll make me go off if I never move
