A modern day Romeo and Juliet
|
American Tragedy
|
Low rent, high-rise lovers who met at the end of
|
Coronado Street
|
Crucifixes made in California gold
|
Two worlds bought to collide
|
Heaven can't help you if you go
|
Faster than angels fly
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Well they burn the candle at both ends
|
As they danced into the flame
|
Making love and making plans
|
Diving Mother Mary insane
|
Strong as the beads of a rosary
|
Never too young to die
|
Some souls only know one speed
|
Faster than angels fly
|
|
Ghost-haunted barrio in Hollywood
|
Graffiti stained wailin' wall
|
Dead-end street gang up to no good
|
Out to make a retribution call
|
Sweet innocence caught in crossfire's fate
|
Too late to draw the line
|
Bullets can blow your dreams away
|
Faster than angels fly
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Well they burn the candle at both ends
|
As they danced into the flame
|
Making love and making plans
|
Diving Mother Mary insane
|
Strong as the beads of a rosary
|
Never too young to die
|
Some souls only know one speed
|
Faster than angels fly
|
|
They were still holding hands
|
when all hell broke loose
|
They both left this world
|
with more than most truth lovers do
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Well they burn the candle at both ends
|
As they danced into the flame
|
Making love and making plans
|
Diving Mother Mary insane
|
Strong as the beads of a rosary
|
Never too young to die
|
Some souls only know one speed
|
Faster than angels fly
|
|
Strong as the beads of a rosary
|
Never too young to die
|
Some souls only know one speed
|
Faster than angels fly
|
