/// Lyrics:
About a year ago this winter when I hadn’t had my dinner
I was feeling low, just as low as I could figure
And as much as I could muster was a packet of Heinz mustard
And I wished I had some ketchup, but it wasn’t in the budget
I saw an ad in the paper offering up awful high prices
To people who hunt people that ya find in high places
So I called up that number of that backwards revelator
And he showed me the way towards that holy elevator
I’ve been killing angels
I’ve been killing time
I got a pocketful of halos
Got a pint of holy light
I’m gonna feather up my pillow
And see if anyone bites
I’ve been killing angels
Having a hell of a time
I’ve worked behind the counter and I’ve worked inside the stable
And I’ve pulled my weight across this long white table
And now I am haunted by some boosted Panasonic
With exotic electronics that I can talk to God with
He says he’s made mistakes and not every bird deserves its wings
And sometimes he needs help and he likes the way I think
So I just sit and listen to my color television
And as long as I am patient it tells me who to visit
I’ve been killing angels
I’ve been killing time
I got a pocketful of halos
Got a pint of holy light
I’m gonna feather up my pillow
And see if anyone bites
I’ve been killing angels
Having a hell of a time
