(Instrumental)
(Verse 1)
Freed from the drugs
Is off their cause
‘Cause they stood in the rain (stood in the rain)
Overnight
(Chorus)
There is such a long way, such a long way to go
I am asking all, I am asking all the angels to come and carry us
I am asking all, I am asking all the angels to come and carry us
‘Cause it’s such a long way, such a long, long way to go
(Instrumental)
(Ahh-ahh-ahh)
(Ahh-ahh-ahh)
(Verse 2)
Susceptible to vulnerability
Somewhere, I swore I never see
And when the eyes get tired
The paranoia’s kick-kick-kicking in
Meanwhile, it’s crawling in your skin
I don’t know the signs to sink or swim
I can’t decide for which is worse
And this hides an unquenchable thirst
(Chorus)
There is such a long way, such a long way to go
I am asking all, I am asking all the angels to come and carry us
I am asking all, I am asking all the angels to come and carry us
‘Cause it’s such a long way, such a long, long way to go
There is such a long way, such a long, long way to go
(hey, hey-y, hey, hey-y)
(Middle 8)
This hole, it multiplies its size
Each time, we all misstep the line
Into a place of unrest
My sense is under arrest
Compress troubles at uncomfortable speeds
Bus slows down craving intimacy, then leaves
I don’t know where I lie
It’s night, day, day, night
I feel so sick let me off this ride
Sober me up, will you sober my life
Help me sleep tonight, (Help me sleep tonight)
(Chorus)
There is such a long way, such a long way..
I am asking all, I am asking all the angels to come and carry us
I am asking all, I am asking all (I am asking all) the angels (the angels) to come and carry us
And I am asking all (I am asking all), I am asking all (I am asking all) the angels (yes, the angels) to come and carry us
(Outro)
Such a long way, such a long, long way
Such a long way, such a long, long way to go
(Verse 1)
Freed from the drugs
Is off their cause
‘Cause they stood in the rain (stood in the rain)
Overnight
(Chorus)
There is such a long way, such a long way to go
I am asking all, I am asking all the angels to come and carry us
I am asking all, I am asking all the angels to come and carry us
‘Cause it’s such a long way, such a long, long way to go
(Instrumental)
(Ahh-ahh-ahh)

There is such a long way, such a long way to go
I am asking all, I am asking all the angels to come and carry us
I am asking all, I am asking all the angels to come and carry us

Such a long way, such a long, long way
Such a long way, such a long, long way to go
