High flying
on wings of light
above the sorrow
that holds me tight

and tackled down
by a devil who seeks
to steal my angel's wings away from me

two weeks flew by
not a mark, not a scratch
and high flying for days
not much a passing thought of evil

naturally, it left me
it always does
down and up
the crests and waves of time
we all follow faithfully
up and down
down and up
oh please, lets ride the coaster

I can't stop what I do
I've tried before
it didn't last
i don't want help
because no one can help me
don't even try

so I'll just take the angel's wings
back from the devil who haunts me so
fly by the graveyard
up and over
loop de loop
hello to passing souls

wave, smile, laugh
converse while I can
then the devil will take me
steal me
rape me again
leaving his marks
but the angel dust keeps me going
and the halo shines so bright
to get up again
see the stars and light
smile
live
to see another day
hello cruel world
I'm back again
