lyrics

Everytime a bell rings
they say and angel gets its wings
saw the Cathedral burning on TV

Folks here don't seem to care though
keep staring at their cell phones
and I ain't got no halo - so what about me?

I just sing the same songs
I keep saying 'so long'
to everything that I love - still I sing:

It's alright now - it's ok
cuz ain't that what I'm supposed to say,
even though I get so afraid it's hard to breathe?

But as long as the moon glows
the spring air in my nose
the yellow light in windows, I believe...

Past the green house on Addison,
the high rise on Madison
I'll watch the sun rise again in the East

And I think you got a nose ring
the day after you turned 18
and I always hoped you'd notice me

You never seemed to care though
just listening to J-Lo
did you ever get that halo you used to seek?

Well it's alright now, it's ok
What else can I really say,
when it's so hard to be brave week after week?

It's alright now, it's ok
I'll try not to feel afraid
cuz they have no power to create
that's why we still sing

we still sing
we still sing
we still sing
