[English]
[♪ ♪ ♪]
♪ When you left this town ♪
♪ With your windows down ♪
♪ And the wilderness inside ♪
♪ Let the exits pass all the tar and glass ♪
♪ 'Til the road and sky align ♪
♪ The strangers in this town ♪
♪ They raise you up just to cut you down ♪
♪ Oh, Angela it's a long time coming ♪
♪ And your Volvo lights lit up green and white ♪
♪ With the cities on the signs ♪
♪ But you held your course to some distant war ♪
♪ In the corners of your mind ♪
♪ From the second time around ♪
♪ The only love I ever found ♪
♪ Oh, Angela it's a long time coming ♪
♪ Home at last ♪
♪ Were you safe and warm in your coat of arms ♪
♪ With your fingers in a fist ♪
♪ Did you hear the notes all those static codes ♪
♪ In the radio abyss? ♪
♪ Strangers in this town ♪
♪ They raise you up just to cut you down ♪
♪ Oh, Angela it's a long time coming ♪
♪ Oh, Angela, spent your whole life running away ♪
♪ Home at last ♪
♪ Home at last ♪
♪ Vacancy, hotel room ♪
♪ Lost in me, lost in you ♪
♪ Angela, on my knee ♪
♪ I belong, I believe ♪
♪ Home at last ♪
♪ Home at last ♪
♪ Home at last ♪
♪ Home at last ♪
♪ Home at last ♪
♪ Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh ♪
♪ Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh ♪
♪ Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh ♪
♪ Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh ♪
