Angels Commerce by The Small Calamities Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Sunday morning in the heart of the summertime...
Smoke in our skies and our eyes
Being late for the first and the last days...
You were borrowing your time
[Verse 2]
And the world stopped for hours in the summer sun, throwing shadows on our footsteps
Staying close never seemed like the next room
I am borrowing my time
[Chorus]
And it was so real, it was blank and empty eyes
Now I can't wait, cause if I do I'd recognize the city of angels through a city of commerce
And you tried for a year just to come down, throwing stars into stone
Taking long breaks on couches at the edge of town...
And taking one more look around
[Repeat Chorus]
They couldn't move the mountains that they made in the thirties...
Nothing lasts forever, when it does it's in east L.A
The movement of wealth, from sickness to health, from ashes to ashes and dust to parking lots
From autumn to spring, and for all of your things, with these hand-me-down strings, I'll hand you a photograph
[Repeat Chorus]
