Faster Than Angels

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 Driving 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 Driving 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 Driving 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
