Welcome me to The City of Angels
|
Devil prophets still hold my hand
|
I walked your stillborn streets for hours
|
Ethnic echoes spitting out their trials
|
They tell me I'll
|
|
I'll be the first to praise the sun
|
The first to praise the moon
|
The first to hold the lone coyote
|
Last to set it free
|
|
Welcome me to a haven given
|
Oh, it's well received into my open arms
|
Oh, I, I ran in my sleep through shaking tremors
|
I felt the splitting earth echoing in my ears
|
And I feel it all
|
|
I'll be the first to praise the sun
|
The first to praise the moon
|
The first to hold the lone coyote
|
The last to set it free
|
|
Welcome me to your City of Angels
|
There's a Devil monkey laying on our backs
|
Now tell me, where's the heart? Where's the bullet for breaking?
|
Who's gonna give me a weapon, a pacifying weapon?
|
An' I need it all
|
|
I'll be the first to praise the sun
|
The first to praise the moon, oh
|
The first to hold the lone coyote
|
The last to set it free
|
I said, I said, "Welcome me"
|
|
I'll be the first to praise the sun
|
The first to praise the moon, oh
|
The first to hold the lone coyote
|
The last to set it free
|
I said, "Welcome me"
|
