One, two, three, yeah
Sun came up, it was another day
When the sun went down, you were blown away
Why'd you let go of your guitar?
Why'd you ever let it go that far, drunken angel?
Could've held on to that long smooth neck
Let your hand remember every fret
Fingers touching each shiny string
But you let go of everything, drunken angel
Drunken angel
You're on the other side
Drunken angel
You're on the other side
Followers would cling to you
Hang around just to meet you
Some threw roses at your feet
And watched you pass out on the street, drunken angel
Feed you and pay off all your debts
Kiss your brow, taste your sweat
Write about your soul, your guts
Criticize you and wish you luck, drunken angel
Drunken angel
You're on the other side
Drunken angel
You're on the other side
Some kind of savior singing the blues
A derelict in your duct tape shoes
Your orphan clothes, and your long dark hair
Looking like you didn't care, drunken angel
Blood spilled out from the hole in your heart
Over the strings of your guitar
The worn-down places in the wood
That once made you feel so good, drunken angel
Drunken angel
You're on the other side
Drunken angel
You're on the other side
Sun came up, it was another day
When the sun went down, you were blown away
Why'd you let go of your guitar?
Why'd you ever let it go that far, drunken angel?
Drunken angel
