Sun came up, it was another day
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 a long smooth neck
Let your hand remember every fret
Fingers touching these shiny strings
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
Watch you pass out on the street
Drunken angel
Feed and pay off all your debts
Kiss your brow and taste your sweat
Write about, sew your guts
Criticize and wish you love
Drunken angel
Drunken angel
You're on the other side
Drunken angel
You're on the other side
Some kinda say you sing the blues
But there you're left in your duct taped shoes
You're orphan clothes and long dark hair
Lookin like you didn't care
Drunken angel
Blood spilled out from the hole in your heart
Over the strings of your guitar
You warned down places in the woods
The ones that 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
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
