God Lifts Up The Lowly

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Some angels will carry you homeward Other angels you don't wanna meet My guardian angel's got wings of tinfoil And cigarettes found in the street My angel's got eyes like a housing project He was born inside a guitar And I can't forget his red lips and eyelashes And his "How'd we end up where we are?" [Pre-Chorus] There's nothing doing on the main streets Let's take the alley for the evening And we're driving in a car that won't slow down Making ourselves up in the rear view mirror [Chorus] I know God lifts up the lowly I know God lifts up the lowly [Verse 2] We're searching the trunk every morning We tore out a tracking device And I pray for plagues to come down on this Egypt And I dream of blood, fire and lice I wake with my coat for a blanket My angel's been up for an hour And I've looked deep into this frail human body And I know that I carry a power [Pre-Chorus] We'll never make it on the main streets They'll force us back into the alleyways And we're re-arranging furniture In a burning house [Chorus] But I know God lifts up the lowly I know God lifts up the lowly [Outro] Ram v'nisa, gadol v'nora Mashpil ge'im u'magbiha shfalim Motzi asirim u'podeh anavim V'ozer dalim V'oneh l'amo b'et shavam eilav
