Styx - Fallen Angel Lyrics
Written by dennis deyoungLead vocals by dennis deyoungHell nobodys perfectOne hundred percentNo saint, no pope, no king no queenNo presidentBut our hunger for heroesHas made us blindWe seek salvationFrom the cup of human kindBut every time we hear the voiceOf some new abrahamWe wake too late to realizeIt was just another scamFallen angel, fallen angelWell I guess you were no angel after allFallen angel, fallen angelYou always take us with you when you fallI said nobodys perfectFrom head to toeNot einstein or elvis or lenin or marxOr marilyn monroeCause its mostly illusionIn flesh and boneAn image, a look, a song or a bookThat we all claim for our ownBut even in the best of usThere lies beneath the skinThe tragic flaw in natures lawThats bound to do us inFallen angel, fallen angelWell I guess you were no angel after allFallen angel, fallen angelYou always take us with you when you fallPretty faces up on the silver screenFlawless bodies on covers of magazinesThey all look perfect to usSo rich and cool and boredBut hold the presses boysTheyve checked into betty fordTurns out nobodys perfectFrom a to zIts best to follow your heartThen to follow meCause Im only a singerPlayin a songAnd Ive just been making it upAs I went alongSee I met a man who told me onceSinceritys the keyAnd once you learn to fake itSon youre gonna be home freeFallen angel, fallen angelWell I guess you were no angel after allFallen angel, fallen angelYou always take us with you when you fall
