And with a wink and a smile
You toss your instructions on how to catch a train while it's moving
You always were the one that kept us all guessing
How you could survive the fall you had

From medicine men to my DJ friends
They all have said he's got to watch his back

They're trapping angels by the potomac
But it's not how you think
You'd be surprised
They liberate your dreamscape
Till you can't remember to recall where your wings have gone
Tell me where they've gone

From Jordan to Chicago another child is born
Trusting that we'll get it right this time
I should've worn my glasses
You said just to trust
Then you chose to sign the dotted line

From modern Magdalenes to my DJ friends
They all have said he's got to watch his back

They're trapping angels by the potomac
But it's not how you think
You'd be surprised
They liberate your dreamscape
Till you can't remember to recall where your wings have gone

Before I close my eyes at night
I can still see you smiling before the truth was buried alive
Did we prize it before you change the world
Maybe boy you should change your girl

They're trapping angels by the potomac
They're trapping angels Lord I know this
They're trapping angels by the potomac
But they're getting closer now
I said they're getting closer to where they've gone
Tell me where they've gone
Tell me where they've gone
Now it won't be long
