Who Believes In Angels? Lyrics by Elton John & Brandi Carlile
[Verse 1: Brandi Carlile]
You don't need to laugh so hard
You don't have to wear a tie
Sometimes honest is being caught inside a lie
And I've been there
I have been there
[Verse 2: Brandi Carlile & Elton John]
If I'd lived an easy life
Would I still choose you?
Would I fall on the same knife?
A rodeo queen breathing fire into the night
I have been there
Man I've been there
[Pre-Chorus: Brandi Carlile, Brandi Carlile & Elton John]
What do you say we set the pleasantries aside?
Even the diamonds look like rocks to the untrainеd eye?
What does it cost to buy your soul back whеn you die?
What are the angels gonna do with you and I?
[Chorus: Brandi Carlile & Elton John]
I
What do the angels do with you with and I?
Blame the end of days
Mercury in retrograde
Who believes in angels anyway?
[Verse 3: Brandi Carlile & Elton John]
The color of the lie is white
I would die on that hill in a one handed fight
If you're not swinging first you were never in the right
I have been there
Man, I have been there
[Pre-Chorus: Brandi Carlile, Brandi Carlile & Elton John]
What do you say we set the pleasantries aside?
Even the diamonds look like rocks to the untrained eye
What does it cost to buy your soul back when you die?
What are the angels gonna do with you and I?
[Chorus: Elton John, Brandi Carlile & Elton John]
I
What do the angels do with you with and I
Blame the end of days
Mercury in retrograde
Who believes in angels anyway (I know)
Blame the end of day
Mercury in retrograde
Who believes in angels anyway
[Outro: Brandi Carlile, Elton John, Brandi Carlile & Elton John]
There's no need to curse the stars
Or bite before you bark
But when you need someone to walk with in the dark
I have been there
I have been there
I have been there
I have been there
Man I have been there
Woah yeah been there
I've been there
Man I've been there
I’ve been there
I've been there
I
