Fallen Angels
Aerosmith · Nine Lives
There´s a candle burning in the world tonight
For another child who vanished out of sight
And a heart is broken, another prayer in vain
There´s a million tears that fill a sea of pain
Sometimes I stare out my window
My thoughts all drift into space
Sometimes I wonder if there´s a better place
(Tell me)
Where do fallen angels go
I just don´t know
Where do fallen angels go
They just keep falling
Now the times in frightening
Can´t ignore the facts
There´s so many people
Just slippin´ through the cracks
So many ashes are scattered
So many rivers run dry
Sometimes your Heaven is Hell
and you don´t know why
(So listen)
Where do fallen angels go
I just don´t know
Where do fallen angels go
They just keep falling, falling, falling...
Can you hear me
Can you hear me
Somewhere out there there´s a shining light
And I got to be with you tonight
And with all we´re nowhere
We still pay the price
Yeah the Devil seems to get his way
In downtown paradise
Where do fallen angels go
I just don´t know
Where do fallen angels go
They just keep falling, falling, falling...
Where do fallen angels go
I just don´t know
Where do fallen angels go
They just keep falling, falling, falling...
There´s a candle burning...
For another child who vanished out of sight
And a heart is broken, another prayer in vain
There´s a million tears that fill a sea of pain
Sometimes I stare out my window
My thoughts all drift into space
Sometimes I wonder if there´s a better place
(Tell me)
Where do fallen angels go
I just don´t know
Where do fallen angels go
They just keep falling
Now the times in frightening
Can´t ignore the facts
There´s so many people
Just slippin´ through the cracks
So many ashes are scattered
So many rivers run dry
Sometimes your Heaven is Hell
and you don´t know why
(So listen)
Where do fallen angels go
I just don´t know
Where do fallen angels go
They just keep falling, falling, falling...
Can you hear me
Can you hear me
Somewhere out there there´s a shining light
And I got to be with you tonight
And with all we´re nowhere
We still pay the price
Yeah the Devil seems to get his way
In downtown paradise
Where do fallen angels go
I just don´t know
Where do fallen angels go
They just keep falling, falling, falling...
Where do fallen angels go
I just don´t know
Where do fallen angels go
They just keep falling, falling, falling...
There´s a candle burning...
Fallen Angels
As a cornerstone of Aerosmith's 1998 album Nine Lives, "Fallen Angels" exemplifies the band's signature blend of hard rock and melodic sensibility. The track features Joe Perry's intricate guitar work and Steven Tyler's emotive vocals, delivering a powerful anthem that resonated with audiences during the late 1990s. While the song was not a major commercial hit upon its initial release, it has since gained significant traction among fans and critics who appreciate its enduring energy and classic rock production. The recording stands as a testament to Aerosmith's ability to craft substantial, radio-ready material that captures the spirit of their career-defining era.
