Angel Gets Caught in the Beauty Trap

No-Man

I step out of the shadows
And into the bright day,
I cannot breathe
For the smoke and the city smells.

My head comes alive
With the humming of engines,
I cannot scream
For the dust in my throat.

I stare at the lovers
As they stand in the doorway,
I cannot dream
For the dirt on my hands.

I came to this place with
A lifetime of memories;
Falling apart
Like the shoes on my feet.

Even now I see you fall
Even now I see you fall
Even now I see you fall
Your arms stretching out.

I remember the hot sand.
I remember the blue sky.
We sat side by side
And traded our names.

I remember the sweet air.
I remember the time when
I fell in love
Only to cry in my sleep.

Even now I see you fall
Even now I see you fall
Even now I see you fall
Your arms stretching out.

Even now I sometimes call
Even now I sometimes call
Even now I sometimes call
Your name in the night

In my dream
I feel you breathing
In my dream
I feel you breathe
In my dream
I feel you breathing
In my dream
I feel you breathe
