Lyrics
(
Angel)hello mom I'm fine where the sun is dyinghow's the weather around my old hometownyou seem to worry about my livin'say that all is forgivenwhat's lost is bound to be found
I hope you don't expect to see me'cause you know I'm very far awayyou know I really miss youbut a man's gotta make it on his own somedaysoon she sends her greetings'bout school and civic meetingssays she's doing well in her cellyeah, my brother's born and raised nowand he's proud to show his face down on the corner scenein his paper dog dreamsand me I guess I'm livingtaking what's for the livingooh ma, you know how I really wishyou could see what's on my mind, yeahyeah, I guess it's kind of lonelyand I've been uptight for moneybut I'll make it on my own staying highyou seem upset about the drugs and things
I guess finally found my wayit's my way to be free don't think you're a failure to mesomeday you'll understand all thisjust what it is I mean to saybut just don't try and love me
I don't wanna see you hurt this wayguess I'll be going, makes a guy feel greatknowing that somebody cares somewheremom I cannot mail this and let you know I failedit's just not right somehow, oh no
I'd rather let you think I'm deadthan hung on drugs instead
I'm dying anyhow and it's too late now
I guess there's a moral somewherebut I can't seem to think just nowif I had to do it overguess I'd try to change it around somehow
Lord it's really hell when you're living in this spelland nothing's like it seemsin a cocaine dream
