Lyrics

[00:08] (Beauty & Crime)
[00:12]
[00:13.31] Angel comes home
[00:16.83] His clothes in a cloud
[00:19.87] Of the dust and the dirt and destruction
[00:25.60]
[00:28.47] She waits inside
[00:32.09] She knows he's arrived
[00:36.00] She feels this with no introduction
[00:41.03]
[00:44.69] At angel's door,
[00:47.16] You have to leave it on the floor,
[00:52.91] Don't bring it in.
[00:58.16]
[01:00.16] He can't show
[01:02.71] What she doesn't want to know
[01:08.29] Those things he's seen.
[01:12.54]
[01:18.41] She knows the smell
[01:21.65] Of that life he can't tell
[01:25.35] Of the fires and the flesh and confusion
[01:31.79]
[01:33.72] Inside his brain
[01:37.54] It's never the same
[01:40.71] Though he tries to maintain the illusion
[01:47.10]
[01:49.90] At angel's door,
[01:52.31] You have to leave it on the floor,
[01:58.22] Don't bring it in.
[02:03.48]
[02:05.48] He can't show
[02:07.85] What she doesn't want to know
[02:13.60] Those things he's seen.
[02:17.85]
[02:23.66] Angel comes home
[02:27.37] His clothes in a cloud
[02:30.48] Of the dust and the dirt and destruction
[02:37.15]
