Fallen Angel Lyrics
Tears of joy at the birth of a brother
Never alone from that time
Sixteen Years through knife fights and danger
Strangely why his life not mine
West side skyline crying
Fallen angel dying
Risk a life to make a dime
Lifetimes spent on the streets of a city
Make us the people we are
Switchblade stings in one tenth of a moment
Better get back to the car
Fallen angel
Fallen angel
Fallen angel
Fallen angel
West side skyline
Crying for an angel dying
Life expiring in the
Snow white side streets of cold New York City
Stained with his blood it all went wrong
Sick and tired blue wicked and wild
God only knows for how long
Fallen angel
Fallen angel
Never alone from that time
Sixteen Years through knife fights and danger
Strangely why his life not mine
Fallen angel dying
Risk a life to make a dime
Make us the people we are
Switchblade stings in one tenth of a moment
Better get back to the car
Fallen angel
Fallen angel
Crying for an angel dying
Life expiring in the
Stained with his blood it all went wrong
Sick and tired blue wicked and wild
God only knows for how long
Fallen angel

Best Crimson song.
Sounds like it's about a boy who lives in New York, he is very lonely until he gets a brother. They hang out all the time, and get into a gang, where his brother is killed in a knife fight. The "Fallen Angel" refers to his brother.
The song is obviously referring to the Hell's Angels motorcycle gang.
