My mother said there's only one way

A sweet angel boy, narrow and straight

Timing his past, teachings they fade

Now their angel boy has gone astray



I've felt the hand of the Devil, felt his breath on my skin

Dip me into the water, wash me again

Can I still be forgiven for all of these things

Or have I gone too far now

Have I lost my wings



I found a priest, I spoke my mind

Asked if I'd sinned one too many times

He said "My son, you're only a man"

Then I said, "Sir, you don't understand"



I've felt the hand of the Devil, felt his breath on my skin

Dip me into the water, wash me again

Can I still be forgiven for all of these things

Or have I gone too far now

Have I lost my wings



God help us all for what we have done

We've lost our way, we can't find the Son

We make our beds, we seal our fate

Is there still time, or is it too late



We've felt the hand of the Devil, felt his breath our my skin

Dip us into the water, wash us again

Can we still be forgiven for all of these things

Or have we gone too far now

Have we lost our wings



We've felt the hand of the Devil, felt his breath our my skin

Dip us into the water, wash us again

Can we still be forgiven for all of these things

Or have we gone too far now

Have we lost our wings



Have we lost our wings
