[Verse 1]
Tears of joy at the birth of a brother
Never alone from that time
Sixteen years through knife fights and danger
Strangely why his life, not mine?

[Refrain]
West-side skyline crying, fallen angel dying
Risk a life to make a dime

[Verse 2]
Lifetimes spent on the streets of a city
Make us the people we are
Switchblade stings in one tenth of a moment
Better get back to the car

[Chorus]
Fallen angel
Fallen angel

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Fallen angel
Fallen angel
[Refrain]
West-side skyline crying, fallen angel dying
Life expiring

[Verse 3]
In the snow white side streets of cold New York City
Stained with his blood, it all went wrong
Sick and tired, blue, wicked and wild
God only knows for how long

[Chorus]
Fallen angel
Fallen angel
