empty angels

[vermontskies]

what ever happened to the meaning?
what ever happened to the soul?
nobody ever seemed to wonder
how this stone's supposed to roll

empty angels on the avenue
broken wings from town to town
selling bodies on the moving streets
where candle vigils light the ground

I saw dread in the cities
I saw the hungry and the poor
I felt sorrow when it came to me
as one more junkie tries to score

when you pushed your religions
you looked away and sobbed
I once heard a little girl say
we've all been killing just for God

what ever happened to the meaning?
what ever happened to the soul?
nobody ever seemed to wonder
how this stone's supposed to roll

how this stone's supposed to roll.
