Take me down from the ridge where the summer ends And watch the city spread out just like a jet's flame I've got a secret for you, I cut your angel in two I left her bleeding and soaked it with a dry sponge No life has singed her now No life has singed her now No life has singed her now I can see it fade We've got a license to live, it's our only one If it expires we float up to the dust haze I've got a picture of you, I cut your angel in two I saw her spinning and dripping on your new dress No life has singed her now No life has singed her now No life has singed her now I can see it fade
