Nobody casting a shadow
There's chaos in the air
Accidents are occurring
They could happen anywhere
It was the year of the fallen angel
And it shouldn't have been that dry
It's so easy to lose your vision
With so much smoke in the sky

Divide the time by distance
You can multiply the miles by years
You get too close too fast too late
And your perspective's gonna disappear
In the the year of the fallen angel
Don't you expect mercy on your soul
When the wishing well's gone empty
You're throwing pennies down a dry hole

Is this the road to mandalay or colfax avenue
I was walking 'round downtown somewhere
Had nothing better to do
I'm covered with dust
Trying to discuss
Tolstoy with a stop sign
Come around and tell me the story of your life sometime

There's a captain going down with his ship
While it's sinking out at sea
Saying I'll be goddamned if I give up
And let the waves wash over me
In the year of the fallen angel
Don't you dare be surprised
When everything you believe in
Gets sorely compromised

You can pick a card pick any card
It'll be the queen of clubs
I already seen this magic show
I've still got the ticket stubs
In the year of the fallen angel
The mirrors are confused
The trapdoor has been locked up
The basement's being used

Is this another shangri la or montrose boulevard
All the side streets are one-way
And I think I've gone too far
I'm covered with dust
Cut down by hurricane gusts
While the church bells start to chime
Come around and tell me the story of your life sometime

The railroad tracks are rusted
The train is broken down
I would have been gone yesterday
But it's the only way out of this town
In the year of the fallen angel
You're bound to get behind
There ain't no way to avoid it
Just don't let it break your mind

Is this a yellow brick cattle trail
Or interstate eighty five
By now you'd think I'd recognize
The same ol' shuck and jive
I'm covered with dust
I'm filled with disgust
That I laid my heart on the line
Come around and tell me the story of your life sometime
