Tarnished Angel Songtext
von Silkworm

I thank God for relentless thirst
Corn liquor can′t speak unless you drink it first
I toasted him before the set
Shouldn't fly a plane drunk on anisette
He counseled through the bourbon haze
Never use a cruelty when a joke will do in its place
I always drink before the race
It′s a savage world not afraid to show a savage face


In a world of swarming flies
Not an angel or an athlete could live so high
To clip the pylon's edge
It's a rookie mistake, it′ll be on the rookie′s head
The crowd's a rapacious beast
You can feel its hunger before every feast
Thanks for advice my sodden friend
I′ll look deep inside to see if I belong with the men

Not one of you
A tarnished angel

On the night I said goodbye
It was for effect
I dried my eyes
