[Verse 1]
There's a candle burnin' in the world tonight
For 'nother child who vanished out of sight
And a heart is broken, another prayer in vain
There's a million tears that fill a sea of pain
Sometimes I stare out my window
My thoughts all drift into space
Sometimes I wonder if there's a better place

[Chorus]
(Tell me)
Where do fallen angels go?
I just don't know
Where do fallen angels go?
They keep fallin'

[Verse 2]
Now the times is frightenin'
Can't ignore the facts
There's so many people
Just slippin' through the cracks
So many ashes are scattered
So many rivers run dry
Sometimes your Heaven is Hell, and you don't know why

[Chorus]
(So listen)
Where do fallen angels go?
I just don't know (I just don't know)
Where do fallen angels go?
They keep fallin', fallin', fallin'
Yeah

[Bridge]
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Somewhere out there there's a shinin' light
And I got to be with you tonight

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
And with all we're nowhere
We still pay the price
Yeah, the Devil seems to get his way
In downtown paradise, yeah

[Chorus]
Where do fallen angels go?
I just don't know (I just don't know)
Where do fallen angels go?
They keep fallin', fallin', fallin', yeah

Where do fallen angels go?
(Tell me)
I just don't know (I just don't know)
Where do fallen angels go?
They keep fallin', fallin', fallin', yeah

[Outro]
There's a candle burnin'
[Tyler vocalizes]

Aerosmith is an American rock band, sometimes referred to as “The Bad Boys from Boston” and “America’s Greatest Rock and Roll Band.” Formed in 1970, its founding members are Steven Tyler (vocals, keyboards, harmonica), Tom Hamilton (bass), Joey Kramer (drums), Joe Perry (guitar, vocals) and Brad Whitford (guitar).

The band released their eponymous debut studio album in 1973 featuring the single “Dream On,” which remains one of their most popular songs. Their next four albums made them rock stars across the US and Canada, spawning the hits “Sweet Emotion”, “Last Child”, “Walk This Way”, “Back In The Saddle”, “Draw The Line”, and a cover of “Come Together” for the Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band Soundtrack.

Before the release of their fifth album Draw The Line, the band’s substance abuse began to destroy them. Perry quit after a backstage fight with Tyler in 1979, and Whitfield left two years later. Despite moderate sales, the band’s fifth and sixth albums were considered flops when compared to the band’s past accomplishments. When Perry and Whitfield returned in 1984, their eighth album Done With Mirrors was also deemed unsuccessful despite strong reviews. Doug Herzog (MTV, VH1)
