Where I Thought I Met the Angels-The Tallest Man On Earth

Never once an ocean could hold me on its shore standing calm with all its motion with all the movement of its flow cause I know way back in the distance all the safer sorrows burned the ones with no intent to drown you the ones where nothin's to be learned so now i'm headin' down a back road the one that no one really takes 'cept for me now to be nowhere when that early morning breaks Now I'm dancin' with the mad girls the ones who sin out by the town who were brought up by bell towers and always nurtured by its sound I heard them sing out in their language already when I was still free oh God I thought I heard the angels what kind of fool'd you put in me? 'Cause now I'm tied by up by a back road, y'know the one that no one really takes 'cept for me now to be nowhere when that early morning breaks They sure won't let me leave this summer no no no and they won't let me go this fall and with the likelihood of winter they'll take the heat out of us all just to deliver all their daughters to track down sons of serpent roads and let me look out over slaughter to have a night out with the boys And now i'm takin' off the back road, y'know the one that no one really takes 'cept for me now to be nowhere when that early morning breaks
