Texty: Big & Rich. Between Raising Hell and Amazing Grace. Faster Than Angels Fly.

A modern day Romeo and Juliet
American tragedy
Low rent, high rise lovers who met
At the end of Coronado Street

Crucifix made in California gold
Two worlds bound to collide
Heaven can't help you if you go
Faster than angels fly

Well, they burn the candle at both ends
As they danced into the flame
Making love and making plans
Driving Mother Mary insane

Strong as the beads of a rosary
Never too young to die
Some souls only know one speed
Faster than angels fly

Ghost haunted barrio in Hollywood
Graffiti stained wailing wall
Dead-end street gang up to no good
Out to make a retribution call

Sweet innocence caught in crossfire's fate
Too late to draw the line
Bullets can blow your dreams away
Faster than angels fly

Well, they burn the candle at both ends
As they danced into the flame
Making love and making plans
Driving Mother Mary insane

Strong as the beads of a rosary
And never too young to die
Some souls only know one speed
Faster than angels fly

They were still holding hands
When all hell broke loose, broke loose
They both left this world
With more than most true lovers do

They burn the candle at both ends
As they danced into the flame
(As they danced into the flame)
Making love and making plans
Driving Mother Mary insane

Strong as the beads of a rosary
Never too young to die
Some souls only know one speed
Faster than angels fly

Strong as the beads of a rosary
And never too young to die
Some souls only know one speed
Faster than angels fly
