I don't know Who dug this hole We're standing in All I know is that It's dark and deep We've cried out To heaven And lifted up Our hands But I kind of got This feeling We ain't getting Nowhere man We need An older angel If we're Gonna make it through One who's been around This block We're on a time or two If he knows All the angles Then we might Have a prayer We need An older angel tonight If we're gonna get there People make Their choices I have heard it said Maybe that's the truth Or maybe not When you're lying In this clover With a bullet In your heart Tell me what It really matters When the shooter Finds the mark One who knows the score Who's walked Through the doors of heaven One who's been around One who's fallen down And learned to fly again
