Letra de Angel of 14th Street
Broadway traffic streaming light She came from California Runnin' from daylight into this endless electric twilight And when she dies a ghost is born Singing, "Get up, get up, get up Get up out of your memories Get out of the sunlight Get out of that sleeping western town"Got a little bit of runnin' for you now Got a little way to runTo answer all our hopes and fears A king is leaving Union Square Did we leave the light on? (Did we leave the light on?) Does he need a light on? (Does he need a light on?) The king is screaming highway songs of blood and lies Of hope and wrongDid he leave the light on? (Did he leave the light on?) Does he need a light on?Yesterday when we get older We'll look back on all the times He had you puttin' a face on Instead of just walkin' away So paint your face black and blue again Wake up, wake up, wake up Wake up new and put on the clothes That make you feel like you're not brokenHe put a little bit of color in your eye You got a little bit of colorTo answer all our hopes and prayers An angel sang in Union Square Did she leave the light on? (Did she leave the light on?) Do we need a light on? The congregation came to stare To touch her dress, to pull her hair They tore her clothes and left her thereDid she need a light on? (Does she need a light on?) Do we need a light on? (Do we need a light on?) Do we need a light on? (Do we need a light on?) Do we need a light on?The daydream nations won't come true The ghosts you made up ghosted you The angel learns to live with things That make her feel uneasy And after all the dreaming's done She screams, "Wake up, wake up, wake up This is a recording, a ghost of England Awake in a dream of America"You see him comin' out the corner of your eye You can hear him breathing when he runsThe king of all our hopes and fears His train departing Union Square Just moved to somewhere south of here Did he leave a light on? (Did he leave a light on?) Her feathers stale with sex and beer The angel of the pavement cries "If God is dead, why am I here?Did he leave a light on for me? (Did he leave a light on?) Did he leave a light on for me? (Did he leave a light on?) Did he leave a light on for me? (Did he leave a light on?) Did he leave a light on for me?"
