STYX lyrics : "Fallen Angel"

(Dennis DeYoung)
Hell nobody's perfect
One hundred percent

No saint, no Pope, no King no Queen
No President


But our hunger for heroes
Has made us blind
We seek salvation

From the cup of human kind

But every time we hear the voice

Of some new Abraham
We wake too late to realize
It was just another scam


Fallen angel, fallen angel
Well I guess you were no angel after all

Fallen angel, fallen angel
You always take us with you when you fall


I said nobody's perfect
From head to toe
Not Einstein or Elvis or Lenin or Marx

Or Marilyn Monroe

Cause it's mostly illusion

In flesh and bone
An image, a look, a song or a book
That we all claim for our own


But even in the best of us
There lies beneath the skin

The tragic flaw in nature's law
That's bound to do us in


Fallen angel, fallen angel
Well I guess you were no angel after all
Fallen angel, fallen angel

You always take us with you when you fall

Pretty faces up on the silver screen

Flawless bodies on covers of magazines
They all look perfect to us
So rich and cool and bored

But hold the presses boys
They've checked into Betty Ford


Turns out nobody's perfect
From "A" to "Z"
It's best to follow your heart

Then to follow me
Cause I'm only a singer
Playin' a song

And I've just been making it up
As I went along


See I met a man who told me once
"Sincerity's the key
And once you learn to fake it

Son you're gonna be home free"

Fallen angel, fallen angel

Well I guess you were no angel after all
Fallen angel, fallen angel
You always take us with you when you fall
