To this simple little melody
I have seen angels
they were sleeping in gutters
they were standing in bank lines
they were jumping from towers
they were calling like seagulls
but nobody heard
such a beautiful message
from such a common bird
We want freedom for ourselves
but we cant give it to each other
We want peace between nations
yet we battle with our lovers
were blinded by billboards
and trying to get ahead
choking on ambition
and the words left unsaid
I am a lone wolf
a beauty and a beast
both hunter and hunted
soft tounge and sharp teeth
Im toned from my travels
yet raw from this road
as I drink from storm puddles
and the stories Im told
Help me figure this out
help me figure you in
youre a shadow to me
that I echo when I sing
help me figure this out
help me figure you in
