music: A. Vandenberg, lyrics: R. Young)



There's a rose that grows up through the pavement

She's reachin' for the sky, but she knows

She's lost in a world that has no pity

It's all to keep the rats from your door



But in her dreams, it's hard to tell the fringe from the seams

And then she cries, do angels die



Chorus:

Everything she wants, everything she needs

It's hard to reach the sky, when you're on your knees

Everything she wants, everything she needs

Reachin' for it all, but she's in too deep



Now all her friends, the hookers and the prancers

They're tryin' to find the sense in it all

But she knows, that nobody has the answers

And no one gives a damn when you fall



She understands, you never get the blood off your hands

And then she cries, do angels die



(chorus)



(Solo)



And then she cries, do angels die



(chorus)



Reachin' for it all, but she's in too deep



Do angels die, do angels cry, cry cry cry, do they cry

Do you hear them cry as they're falling down, do they make a sound...



(Everything she wants, everything she needs) (repeats out)
