Fallen Angels

Words and music: Patrice Boulianne
English adaptation: Jacques Gaines Patrice Boulianne

Sunday afternoons it’s always the same
It’s a circus, insane
They all line up to see the big show
They call you The Mystery Man,
And the vultures feed from misery’s hand
But they’re the ones putting on a dance
And you just sit there, looking straight ahead
I want to know what you hear

Refrain:
You’re alone in this world
A stranger, a ghost
And now in your silence
I want to know
Why do angels fall?
Help me understand
Jerome

Shipwrecked on our lonely planet
One lost soul on an empty beach
You wouldn’t let them make you speak
How many times did they look at you?
How many times did they let you down?
Here on this earth you’ve seen the worst
And you just sit there, looking straight ahead
And I want to know what you hear

Refrain:
You’re alone in this world
A stranger, a ghost
And now in your silence
I want to know
Why do angels fall?
Help me understand
Jerome

Bridge:
There are still vultures, even today
Who’ll rip out your heart and fly far away
And I just stand here, looking at it all
Afraid of understanding what I hear

Refrain:
I’m alone in this world
A stranger, a ghost
And here in my silence
I want to know
Why do angels fall?
Help me understand
Why so many people?
Strangers and ghosts
Here in this silence
They all want to know
Why do angels fall?
When will they understand? Jerome
