she was staying with a friend
Who had turned into a preacher
to save the world from sin
He said first deny your body,
and tithe your ten percent
I said is this all there is,
just the letter of the law
of a building down on Wall Street,
you could hear the futures roar,
he said here we make decisions
and we trade commodities,
I can't make you guarantees
I said, is this all there is?
Something's wrong in heaven tonight
You can almost hear them cry
Angels to the left and the right
I'm just saying what a love, love,
what a love, love, what a love,
I went to see my neighbor,
he'd been taken to a home
For the week and the discarded,
He said, here I lack for nothing,
I am fed and I am clothed
But at times I miss the freedom
I said, is this all there is?
When your usefulness is gone,
If there's something wrong in living tonight,
you can almost hear them cry.
Angels to the left and the right,
saying what about the love,
I looked into the mirror,
And I saw my pointing finger,
Saying who named you accuser?
I could almost feel the nails
To be crucified and judged
you can almost hear them cry
Angels to the left and the right,
singing word of love, word of love,
word of love, word of love
you can almost hear them cry
The angels to the left and the right
Singing what a love, what a love,
Someone's gonna live him tonight
You can almost hear him cry
The angels to the left and the right
Saying what a love, what a love,
