Lyrics
ANGEL TOWN (IF ONLY)
Intro
You threw the dice in Angel Town
Over and over, over and over
Open your eyes, it's over now
It's never over, it's never over
V.1
Some heroes come
From your home team
Mine come from the silver screen
Jimmy Stewart to Jimmy Dean
They never let me down
So I followed them here to Angel Town
V.2
In a penthouse suite
On Sunset Strip
Today they signed a kid who looked so hip
You say he sold his soul?
Someday he'll burn?
Me, I'm waiting for my turn
Chorus
Singin': Oh, If Only it could be -- oh, If Only
Oh, If Only for me -- oh, If Only
V.3
Now Dorothy flew
Over her rainbow
She's learnin' the business blow by blow
"It's only temporary
"Sleepin' with snakes
"Just until my lucky break" (CHORUS)
Bridge
In Angel Town
You say all rising stars go down?
Today you'll play me for your clown
One day I'll take your crown
Now, now, now
Hey, hey, hey (3 TIMES)
V.4
You come here with a dream
Today it's bittersweet
Do you flee or make 'em see what you were born to be? (CHORUS)
