The wind caressed my bare arms as my white dress flowed behind me. My brown down in waves as it bounced freely as I walked. I closed my eyes as I listened to the empty streets of England. The wind whistled and the birds chirped; the animals scurried and the children were called in for dinner and the leaves danced as they ran past. I began to sing, my voice carried throughout the air.

"White lips, pale face

Breathing in the snowflakes

Burnt lungs, sour taste

Lights gone, days end

Struggling to pay rent

Long nights, strange men

And they say

She's in the class A team

Stuck in her daydream

Been this way since eighteen

But lately her face seems

Slowly sinking, wasting

Crumbling like pastries

And they scream

The worst things come free to us

'Cause we're just under the upper hand

And go mad for a couple grams

And she don't want to go outside tonight

And in a pipe she's flies to the Motherland

Or sells love to another man

It's too cold outside

For angels to fly

Angels to fly

Ripped gloves, rain coat

Tried to swim, stay afloat

Dry house, wet clothes

Loose change, bank notes

Weary- eyed, dry throat

Call girl, no phone

And they say

She's in the class A team

Stuck in her daydreams

Been this way since eighteen

But lately her face seems

Slowly sinking, wasting

Crumbling like pastries

And they scream

The worst things come free to us

'Cause we're just under the upper hand

And go mad for a couple grams

And she don't want to go outside tonight

And in a pipe she's flies to the Motherland

Or sells love to another man

It's too cold outside

For angels to fly

An angel will die

Dressed in white

Closed eyes

And hoping for a better life

This time, we'll fade out tonight

Straight down the line

And they say

She's in the class A team

Stuck in her daydreams

Been this way since eighteen

But lately her face seems

Slowly sinking, wasting

Crumbling like pastries

And they scream

The worst things come free to us

'Cause we're just under the upper hand

And go mad for a couple grams

And we don't want to go outside tonight

And in a pipe she's flies to the Motherland

Or sells love to another man

It's too cold outside

For angels to fly

Angels to fly

To fly, fly

For Angels to fly, to fly, to fly

For angels to die"

I breathed deeply as my words echoed around me. I stepped closer to the edge. A tear ran down my cheek as I remembered the bank notes and the lack of rent. My prostitution not enough to pay the rent and my addiction, I stepped closer to the edge, I could see the whole town from here. And as I spread my arms and leaned forward I whispered the last words.

" an angel will die, dressed in white" as my world tipped forward and hit the ground below.
