Questions For The Angels Lyrics - So Beautiful Or So What - Paul Simon

A pilgrim on a pilgrimage 

Walked across the Brooklyn Bridge, 

His sneakers torn. 

In the hour when the homeless move their cardboard blankets, 

And the new day is born. 

Folded in his backpack pocket, 

The questions that he copied from his heart: 

Who am I in this lonely world? 

And where will I make my bed tonight 

When twilight turns to dark? 

Questions for the angels. 

Who believes in angels? 

Fools do... 

Fools and pilgrims all over the world.

If you shop for love in a bargain store 

And you don't get what you bargained for, 

Can you get your money back? 

If an empty train in a railroad station 

Calls you to its destination, 

Can you choose another track? 

Will I wake up from these violent dreams 

With my hair as white as the morning moon? 

Questions for the angels 

Who believes in angels? 

I do... 

Fools and pilgrims all over the world. 

Downtown Brooklyn, 

The pilgrim is passing a billboard 

That catches his eye. 

It's Jay-Z 

He's got a kid on each knee; 

He's wearing clothes that he wants us to try.

If every human on the planet 

And all the buildings on it 

Should disappear, 

Would a zebra grazing in the African Savanna 

Care enough to shed one zebra tear? 

Questions for the angels...
