Only Angel In LA

chorus

i'm the only angel in los angeles

only, only angel in los angeles

everybody else got dirt on their fingertips

mine just matches all my tailored innocence

hallelujah, let the whole room testify

every ego says its hunger came divine

i'm the only angel in los angeles

baby, that's the truth according to my publicist

post-chorus

okay, technically, i cut the line

spiritually, though, i waited

technically, i stole the deal

aesthetically, i donated

everybody relax, forgiveness starts with me

after my close-up, obviously

verse 1

halo tilted, but the photo came expensive

white dress, black card, highly photogenic

i tip the valet like mercy has a rate

then bless the traffic while i show up late

billboard saints got agents on the avenue

each one swears their motive's more immaculate than you

i smile like innocence invented my address

the only angel in los angeles

pre-chorus

choir, tell 'em what they came to hear

every sinner keeps their motives crystal-clear

every liar makes their own reflection innocent

i'm pure as the story that i sell myself again

amen, amen, let the good press hit

heaven keeps receipts, so i'm in deep s**t

chorus

i'm the only angel in los angeles

only, only angel in los angeles

everybody else got dirt on their fingertips

mine just matches all my tailored innocence

hallelujah, let the whole room testify

every ego says its hunger came divine

i'm the only angel in los angeles

baby, that's the truth according to my publicist

post-chorus

okay, technically, i cut the line

spiritually, though, i waited

technically, i stole the deal

aesthetically, i donated

everybody relax, forgiveness starts with me

after my close-up, obviously

verse 2

brunch with a saint who got three new endorsements

she calls it service when it strengthens her importance

he calls it art when the payout gets obscene

we call it purpose when the cameras catch the scene

we bless our egos with imported sparkling water

sell a little mercy, then increase it by a dollar

everybody's heart got a publicist attached

mine sends flowers when the headlines get scratched

pre-chorus

choir, tell 'em what they came to hear

every sinner keeps their motives crystal-clear

every liar makes their own reflection innocent

i'm pure as the story that i sell myself again

amen, amen, let the good press hit

heaven keeps receipts, so i'm in deep s**t

chorus

i'm the only angel in los angeles

only, only angel in los angeles

everybody else got dirt on their fingertips

mine just matches all my tailored innocence

hallelujah, let the whole room testify

every ego says its hunger came divine

i'm the only angel in los angeles

baby, that's the truth according to my publicist

bridge

maybe i'm holy 'cause i said it first

maybe ambition learned to rehearse in church

maybe the devil got excellent taste

maybe my innocence came custom-made

i point at the city while copying its tricks

amen to the angel who mastered the pitch

chorus

enormous harmonies + gospel-house drums

i'm the only angel in los angeles

only, only angel in los angeles

everybody else got dirt on their fingertips

mine just matches all my tailored innocence

hallelujah, let the whole room testify

every ego says its hunger came divine

i'm the only angel in los angeles

baby, that's the truth according to my publicist

post-chorus

okay, technically, i cut the line

spiritually, though, i waited

technically, i stole the deal

everybody relax, forgiveness starts with me
