Beat Angels
Midnight Revelations: Beat Angels Unveiled
Lyrics
Begging round the sun beaten streets
Begging around the sun-beaten streets
I can't make me no connections
Difficulty forming meaningful connections
Locals here no speak no English
Locals here do not speak English
Where is my woman, well no one knows
Searching for the whereabouts of the speaker's woman
Ah well, some girls just have to leave in the night
Some girls feel the need to leave in the night
While you're fast asleep
Departing while others are asleep
But I don't worry, I move in the dark
The speaker is not worried and operates discreetly
There were lights, there were border lights
Reference to border lights, possibly indicating a border crossing
I thought I heard that drum in the distance playing
Hearing distant drums, adding an atmospheric element
I saw the light, I crossed my heart and beat angels were there
Seeing a light, making a commitment, and encountering beat angels
I woke in some hotel room
Waking up in an unfamiliar hotel room
I could hardly remember my name
Memory loss and disorientation
They were only sixteen years old
Encountering individuals who are only sixteen years old
I felt so lonely, I felt so ashamed
Feeling loneliness and shame
I know sometimes I just have to leave
Expressing the necessity to leave at times
In the night, while you're fast asleep
Leaving in the night while others are asleep
But I don't worry, I move in the dark
Not worrying, operating discreetly in the dark
There were lights, there were border lights
Reference to lights and border lights again
I thought I heard that drum in the distance playing
Hearing distant drums once more
I turned around, I crossed my heart and beat angels were there
Turning around, making a commitment, and encountering beat angels again
Don't you wonder where one goes wrong
Pondering where one goes wrong
Is it somewhere in a foreign rain?
Suggesting a possible mistake in a foreign place
We're sitting out the storm
Waiting out a storm with every lamplight in town
Every lamplight in town
Highlighting the storm's impact on the surroundings
Man don't know when he's got it his grace
Realizing one's blessings only when faced with loss
Till beat angels come and take her away, beat angels, beat angels
Beat angels taking someone away, emphasizing loss
Well I crossed my heart and beat angels were there, beat angels?
Reiterating the encounter with beat angels
