The A Team (Rak studios session) Songtext
von Birdy

White lips, pale face
Breathing in snowflakes
Burnt lungs, sour taste
Light′s gone, day's end
Struggling to pay rent
Long nights, strange men


And they say
She′s in the Class A Team
Stuck in her daydream
Been this way since 18
But lately her face seems
Slowly sinking, wasting
Crumbling like pastries
And they scream
The worst things in life come free to us
'Cause we're just under the upperhand
And go mad for a couple of grams
And she don′t want to go outside tonight
And in a pipe she flies to the Motherland
Or sells love to another man
It′s too cold outside
For angels to fly

Angels to fly

Ripped gloves, raincoat
Tried to swim and stay afloat
Dry house, wet clothes
Loose change, bank notes

Weary-eyed, dry throat
Cool girl, no phone


And they say
She's in the Class A Team
Stuck in her daydream
Been this way since 18
But lately her face seems
Slowly sinking, wasting
Crumbling like pastries
And they scream
The worst things in life come free to us
′Cause we're just under the upperhand
And go mad for a couple of grams
And she don′t want to go outside tonight
And in a pipe she flies to the Motherland
Or sells love to another man

It's too cold outside
For angels to fly
Angels to fly

And they say
She′s in the Class A Team
Stuck in her daydream
Been this way since 18
But lately her face seems
Slowly sinking, wasting
Crumbling like pastries
And they scream
The worst things in life come free to us
'Cause we're just under the upperhand
And go mad for a couple of grams
And she don′t want to go outside tonight
And in a pipe she flies to the Motherland
Or sells love to another man
It′s too cold outside
For angels to fly
For angels to fly
To fly
For angels to die
