Lyrics
Driving away to the east, and into the past
Embarking on a journey to the east, reflecting on the past
History recedes in my rear-view mirror
Looking back, history is fading in the rear-view mirror
Carried away on a wave of music down a desert road
Traveling on a desert road, carried by a wave of music
Memory humming at the heart of a factory town
Recalling memories in the heart of an industrial town
All my life
Throughout life
I've been workin' them angels overtime
Expressing the dedication and hard work towards angels
Riding and driving and living
Engaging in various activities—riding, driving, and living
So close to the edge
Living on the edge
Workin' them angels
Diligently working with angels
Workin' them angels
Continuing the theme of working with angels
Workin' them angels overtime
Intensifying the effort with angels
Riding through the Range of Light to the wounded city
Traveling through the Range of Light to a wounded city
Filling my spirit with the wildest wish to fly
Fueling the spirit with a strong desire to fly
Taking the high road, taking that high road to the wounded city
Choosing the high road to the wounded city
Memory strumming at the heart of a moving picture
Remembering past experiences at the heart of a moving picture
All this time
Throughout all this time
I've been workin' them angels overtime
Continuing the hard work with angels
Riding and diving and flying
Engaging in adventurous activities—riding, diving, and flying
Just over the edge
Living on the edge, just over the edge
Workin' them angels
Persistently working with angels
Workin' them angels
Reiterating the theme of working with angels
Workin' them angels overtime
Continuing the intensified effort with angels
Driving down the razor's edge 'tween the past and the future
Navigating a precarious path between the past and future
Oh, turn up the music and smile
Encouraging to turn up the music and find joy
Get carried away on the songs and stories of vanished times
Getting carried away by songs and stories of bygone times
Memory drumming at the heart of an English winter
Recalling memories during an English winter
Memories beating at the heart of an African village
Memories from an African village resonating
All my life
Throughout life
I've been workin' them angels overtime
Continuing the dedicated work with angels
Riding and driving and living
Engaging in various activities—riding, driving, and living
So close to the edge
Living dangerously close to the edge
Workin' them angels (workin' them angels)
Persistently working with angels (repeated)
Workin' them angels (workin' them angels)
Reiterating the theme of working with angels (repeated)
Workin' them angels overtime
Continuing the intensified effort with angels
Workin' them angels
Continuing the theme of working with angels
Workin' them angels
Reiterating the intensified effort with angels
