Laid dagger dead inside a lonely bed Trying to hide the hole inside my head Watching the stars slide down to reach the end The sleep is not my friend Drinking champagne to forget yesterday Coz I remember, the way, the way, the way It ended that day, the day, the day, the day That I walked away, away, away, away Drinking champagne, made by the angel Who goes by the name of Glittering Gabriel Drinking champagne made all the angels Tears and pain, but I feel celestial Elderly stars slide down the morning sky Slipping away to find a place to die I wonder when the night will reach it's end The sleep is not my friend Drinking champagne, meant for a wedding Toast to the bride, a fairy tail ending Drinking champagne, a bottle to myself Savor the taste of fabricated wealth Drinking champagne, made by the angel Who goes by the name of Glittering Gabriel Drinking champagne made all the angels Tears and pain, but I feel celestial Tears and pain, but I feel celestial Tears and pain, but I feel celestial
