Angel on Fire
|
|
She stands on her suitcase
|
And looks out her window at me.
|
The smile leaves her face,
|
The mirror don't like what it sees.
|
So she hides all her secrets.
|
She's thinking I'll never know
|
That she burns like an angel
|
Into her fire she goes.
|
She don't miss nothing
|
Even though she pretends she don't see
|
Everything she's "watching" (?)
|
|
She puts her hand next to me
|
She says give me one reason
|
Why I should be here again.
|
But then she blows out the candle
|
And shows me the reason again.
|
|
Cause she loves like an angel
|
She burns like an angel on fire
|
On fire
|
|
After the movie,
|
She walks in the park with a friend.
|
She tells it to her straight.
|
He don't mean nothing to me.
|
She says I can't believe him
|
If I gave him enough rope he'd hang me.
|
But when she turns to him
|
There's no place she'd rather be.
|
|
Cause she burns like an angel.
|
She burns like an angel on fire.
|
|
And she's stuck
|
When she comes on so hot.
|
And you have never felt
|
A heavenly slow burn.
|
I'm so hot,
|
When I leave her cold,
|
Frying in her room
|
Like angels always do.
|
And did you really think I loved you
|
Just cause I said so?
|
|
Butterflies "shiver" (?)
|
She learns all the things that I've known.
|
She's thinking her diary
|
Convincing her words as she goes.
|
She says heaven forgive me
|
Am I going to pay for my sins?
|
Cause she burns like an angel
|
Everytime she lets me in.
