LYRICS:
White lips, pale face, breathing in snowflakes
Burnt lungs, sour taste
Lights gone, days end, struggling to pay rent
Long nights, strange men
And they say she's in the class A Team, stuck in her daydream
Been this way since 18 but lately her face seems slowly sinking, wasting, crumbling like pastries
And they scream the worst things in life come free her us 'cause she's just under the upper hand and goes mad for a couple grams
And she don't wanna go outside tonight
'Cause in a pipe she'll fly to the Motherland and sell love to another man
It's too cold outside for angels to fly
Angels to fly
Ripped gloves, raincoat, tried to swim and stay afloat
Dry house, wet clothes
Loose change, bank notes, weary-eyed, dry throat
Call girl, no phone
And they say she's in the class A Team, stuck in her daydream
Been this way since 18 but lately her face seems slowly sinking, wasting, crumbling like pastries
And they scream the worst things in life come free to her 'cause she's just under the upper hand and goes mad for a couple grams
And she don't wanna go outside tonight
'Cause in a pipe she'll fly to the Motherland and sell love to another man
It's too cold outside for angels to fly
An angel will die covered in white - closed eye and hoping for a better life
This time we'll fade out tonight, straight down the line
Straight down the line
And they say she's in the class A Team, stuck in her daydream
Been this way since 18 but lately her face seems slowly sinking, wasting, crumbling like pastries
They scream the worst things in life come free to us when we're all under the upper hand and go mad for a couple grams
And we don't wanna go outside tonight
'Cause in a pipe we'll fly to the Motherland and sell love to another man
It's too cold outside for angels to fly
Angels to fly
Fly, fly
For angels to fly, to fly, to fly or Angel to die
like how he gets the chorus wrong, you can only pull it off on your own song, or was it supposed to be like this?

@nathpj He does it on purpose I think, the original was recorded a while ago and I think he just likes to change it around and interpret it differently to stop the song sounding the same every time :)

@laurenf139 That's what every artist says when they get something wrong

@MasterTenku but, if they wrote it, they can't get it wrong surely?
