House of Heroes
Angels in Top Hats
[Verse 1]
I waited for you, watching you sleep
Machines were breathing for you
Dolled up in white, wrapped up in tubes
You wore them so gracefully
Angels and demons were fighting for you
Your maidens do your bidding
[Pre-Chorus]
If you wake, mine will be
The first eyes you see
[Chorus]
Oh, hey
Hopeless cathedrals, blankets and needles
Oh, hey
Angels in top hats, and cups full of blood
[Verse 2]
Everything happened so fast
I can't recall the road, the rain
The bag, the blood, the splash
Tell me everything's fine, tell me that she's alright
But she's not, she's not
I see you now only in pieces, in pieces
[Chorus]
Oh, hey
Hopeless cathedrals, blankets and needles
Oh, hey
Angels in top hats, and cups full of blood
Oh, hey
Hopeless cathedrals, blankets and needles
Oh, hey
Angels in top hats, and cups full of blood
[Bridge]
Janie, can you hear my prayers hit the ceiling?
And can you tell me if my words have a meaning?
Can you tell me what my hope is to look like?
[Bridge 2]
Hey, you'll never find another
Hey, hey, you'll never find another end
Hey, hey, you'll never find another
Hey, hey, hey, you'll never find another
[Bridge 3]
Hopeless cathedrals, blankets and needles
Angels in top hats, cups full of blood
Dreams are for dreaming, buckets for bleeding
Eyes are for seeing, but you'll still be sleeping
