listen to a song by Ed Sheeran - 

'The A Team'

Original source: https://linguapress.com/intermediate/a2-princess-kate.htm#mplay

White lips, pale face

Breathing in snowflakes

Burnt lungs, sour taste

Light's gone, day's end

Struggling to pay rent

Long nights, strange men

And they say

She's in the Class A Team

Stuck in her daydream

Been this way since eighteen (18)

But lately her face seems

Slowly sinking, wasting

Crumbling like pastries

Ripped gloves, raincoat

Tried to swim and stay afloat

Dry house, wet clothes

Loose change, bank notes

Weary-eyed, dry throat

Call girl, no phone

Angels to die, covered in white, closed eye

And hoping for a better life

This time, we'll fade out tonight

Straight down the line

And they scream, the worst things in life come free to us

'Cause we're just under the upperhand

and go mad for a couple of grams

And she don't want to go outside tonight

And in a pipe she flies to the motherland,

or sells love to another man

It's too cold outside, for angels to fly
