I been had and I been held  With the ghosts at bay  I been oaked and I been doped  And carried away    I been charred and I been scarred  On my own face  But i never thought I'd see you as I did today    Till the angels hung around  Till the angels hung around  Till the angels hung around  As they carried me away    I been clubbed and I been snubbed  By the dogs of LA  And I been burned and I been learned  In the same city    I been whored and I been gored  I been less and I been more  But I never thought I'd see you  As I did today    Till the angels hung around  Till the angels hung around  Till the angels hung around  As they carried me away    You were stuck in the badlands  Acting like a bad bad man  I been photographed and painted up  And I been in love only once    And I feared the best and loved the worst  And insisted that I go first  And watch your eyes as they poured  And I never really loved you more    And I never thought I'd see you  As I did today    Till the angels hung around  Till the angels hung around  Till the angels hung around  As they carried you away    And they put you in the ground  When the angels hung around  And the angels hung around  As they carried me away
