Angel Dust
Wolf Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Look at you, looking at me
Tell me who I'm supposed to be
Who sees the scars
Stay up late and drink too much
Angel city dust
I don't wanna feel the way we are
I know they're all this
I need some distance

I go, I drive
I lose myself in the moment
And lights come into the focus and I'm ready
So long, so high
So on the madness
The voices screaming the static in my mind
I go, I drive

People drinks
Random sex on bathroom sinks
I don't have and they don't have a face
Work at clubs I can't get in

I've just gotta get out of this place

I go, I drive
I lose myself in the moment
And lights come into the focus and I'm ready
So long, so high
So on the madness
The voices screaming the static in my mind
I go

I know they're all this
I need some distance

I go, I drive
I lose myself in the moment
And lights come into the focus and I'm ready
So long, so high
So on the madness
The voices screaming the static in my mind
I go, I drive
I lose myself in the moment
And lights come into the focus and I'm ready
So long, so high
So on the madness




The voices screaming the static in my mind
I go, I drive
