Last night I saw a host of angels

And they were all singing different songs

And it sounded like a lot of lawnmowers

Mowing down my lawn

And up above kerjillions of stars spangled all over the sky

And they were spirals turning

Turning in the deep blue night.

And suddenly for no reason

The way that angels leave the grund

They left in a kind of vortex

Travelling at the speed of sound.

And just as I started to leave

Just as I turned to go

I saw a man who'd fallen

He was lying on his back in the snow.

Some people walk on water

Some people walk on broken glass

Some just walk round and round in their dreams Some just keep falling down.

So when you see a man who's broken

Pick him up and carry him

And when you see a woman who's broken

Put her all into your arms

Cause we don't know where we come from

We don't know what we are.

So when you see a man who's broken

Pick him up and carry him

And when you see a woman who's broken

Put her all into your arms

Cause we don't know where we come from.

We don't know what we are.

And you?

You're no one

And you?

You're falling

And you?

You're travelling

Travelling at the speed of light.

And you?

You're no one

And you?

You're falling

And you?

You're travelling

Travelling at the speed of light.
