Load a clip and the machine gun sprays The survivors walk around in a daze It’s a kick if you can just survive Another day, another blood red sunrise Greasy streets and grease paint smiles If you go out, then you go on trial It’s a crime to breathe and a crime to scream Another vision of the death of the American dream The city never lies The city never dies The city never rests So get undressed And fallen angel, fly We don’t need warmongers to start a war We fight for turf and we fight for whores Catatonic and gin in the city of sin Where everybody wonders what might have been The city never lies The city never dies The city never rests So get undressed And fallen angel, fly Fallen angel fly So pass the ale and pass the ammo Drink your toast and paint on camo I remember the look in my lover’s eyes When the angels claimed her and my heart died The city never lies The city never dies The city never rests So get undressed We ride to the top of Angeles Crest And fly Fallen angel fly
