Far away I, lonesome angel
He's just another one I never got to see
who flies right by through the sky
Far and away I, lonesome angel
He's just another one I never got to be
who'll take the next one in line
But then it all falls down
that's when the city sleeps
And who we all are now, well I'm done
again
And then we all break down
as the city weeps
Now 'I'm gone, gone again

Far away I, lonesome angel
He's just another one I never got to see
who flies right by through the sky
Far and away I, lonesome angel
He's just another one I never got to be
who'll take the next one in line

And as the storm dies down
we're all set for repeat
And it's your time now - fossil, again
A full cup of renown won't save you a seat
Now you're gone, gone again

Far away I, lonesome angel
Who flies right by through the sky
Far and away I, lonesome angel
Who'll take the next one in line
