"Guardian Angel" lyrics

"Guardian Angel"

High rollers can always buy a win
The poor get flooded out first
That's the way it's always been
Drifting out with the current
Trying in vain to make it to shore
Waiting for a guardian angel to step out
Of the elevator door

All the red lights are disregarded
Where the quick shops never close
All the nicotine and gasoline
Makes the sun burn the tops of your toes

All the red lights are disregarded
Where the quick shops never close
There'll never be peace in the valley
With so much suffering on the side of the road

Another in line to beat a broken heart
Biding time singing sweet Caroline
'Til an angel decides what's in store
Drifting out with the current
Trying in vain to make it to shore
Waiting for a guardian angel
To step out from the elevator door

All the red lights are disregarded
Where the quick shops never close
All the nicotine and gasoline
Makes the sun burn the tops of your toes

All the red lights are disregarded
Where the quick shops never close
There'll never be peace in the valley
With so much suffering on the side of the road
