There are cans being kicked on the corner
There's a corner being kicked by a girl
There's a far off city calling me to join her
And there's a red-eyed Angel falling upon the world
There are masks we all wear at midnight
In our dreams or hitting up the town
The subway conversation is my mind now
And for that, the red-eyed Angel's coming down
Dancing is one form of diversion
Like a top, I love to watch her body twirl
When she tells me she loves me, I believe her
Still there's a red-eyed Angel falling upon the world
On the seas, man, you've really done a number
On the skies and on your fellow man
I'd hold out my hand and try to help you
But He's coming now, and I don't think I can
And white beauty conceals a black bullet
Her love's a gun with a handle made of pearl
If she shoots my brother, she's not my sister
And red wrath will be released upon the world
Yes, that red-eyed Angel's knocking on your door
