ANGELS AT MY GATE
(Mann, Martinez, O'Neill)

There's a finger on the dial,
The lucky wheel goes round,
Little joker knows he can't escape.
The same time every year,
The fun fair's back in town,
Numbers in the air like ticker tape.

Fifty eight, fifty six, fifty four
Good angels at my door.
Sixty three, sixty two, sixty one, sixty,
Fifty nine, fifty eight,
Good angels at my gate.

Throw a seven down,
Place another bet,
The joker laughs as the stakes get higher.
The gambler and the clown,
Without a safety net,
Balancing unsteady on a wire.

Fifty eight, fifty six, fifty four
Good angels at my door.
Sixty three, sixty two, sixty one, sixty,
Fifty nine, fifty eight,
Good angels at my gate.

There's a finger on the dial,
The lucky wheel goes round,
Little joker knows he can't escape.
The same time every year,
The fun fair's back in town,
Numbers in the air like ticker tape.

Fifty eight, fifty six, fifty four
Good angels at my door.
Sixty three, sixty two, sixty one, sixty,
Fifty nine, fifty eight,
Good angels at my gate.

Fifty nine, fifty eight, fifty seven,
Fifty six, fifty five, fifty four
Good angels at my door.
Sixty three, sixty two, sixty one, sixty,
Fifty nine, fifty eight,
Good angels at my gate…
