Faster Than Angels Fly

A modern day Romeo and Juliet

American tragedy

Low rent, high rise lovers who met at the end of

Coronado Street

Crucifixes made in California gold

Two worlds bound to collide

Heaven can't help you if you go

Faster than angels fly

Chorus

Well they burn the candle at both ends

As they danced into the flame

Making love and making plans

Driving Mother Mary insane

Strong as the beads of a rosary

Never too young to die

Some souls only know one speed

Faster than angels fly

Ghost-haunted barrio in Hollywood

Graffiti stained wailin' wall

Dead-end street gang up to no good

Out to make a retribution call

Sweet innocence caught in crossfire's fate

Too late to draw the line

Bullets can blow your dreams away

Faster than angels fly

Repeat Chorus

They were still holding hands

When all hell broke loose

The both left this world

With more than most true lovers do

Repeat Chorus

Strong as the beads of a rosary

Never too young to die

Some souls only know one speed

Faster than angels fly
