There Are No Angels Left In America Anymore

They Left After The Second World War Heading West

Stopping Briefly In Japan During The '60s

In Tienanman Square, During The Last Decade



They Kept Heading West To Who Knows Where

What're They After?

What're They Looking For?

A Messiah Who Never Comes?

A Virgin Birth?

A Perfect Drunk?

A Sign,

Any Kind Of Sign

Anything That Looks Slightly Out Of The Ordinary



Flying Over Fields & Factories

Momma's Goin' Off Her Head

Daddy's Bringin' Home The Bacon

Open Up The Pearly Gates



Fruit Of Salty Lubrication

Tangled Up In Arms & Legs

I Can Barely Touch The Bottom

Now I'm Workin' Up A Sweat!



I'm Ready Now--

I'm Ready Now--



I Can Barely Touch My Own Self

How Could I Touch Someone Else?

I'm Just An Advertisement

For A Version Of Myself



Like Molecules In Constant Motion

Like A Million Nervous Tics

I Am Quivering With Anticipation

Like The Sunlight On Their Wings

I'm Ready Now

(Don't Look Back)

I'm Ready Now

(I'm Ready For This)

I'm Ready Now



The Sensuous World ? The Smell Of The Sea

The Sweat Off Their Wings ? The Fruit From

The Trees

The Angel Inside ? Will Meet Me Tonight

On Wings Of Desire ? I Come Back Alive

I'm Ready

I'm Ready

(I Put The Dogs Outside)

I'm Ready

I'm Ready

(To Take That Ride)

I'm Ready Now

I'm Ready Now

(To Take That Wine)



I'm Ready Now

But Where Are You?
