Babies were crying when you got here
|
I believe they're crying still
|
The world as we know it keeps right on turning
|
I guess it always will
|
|
Still, something's changed - I hate to admit it
|
I ain't been the same since you came around
|
My mind is swollen from the weariness
|
Wish you'd never flagged me down
|
|
Twisted angel, cast out of some strange heaven
|
Sent down here to pull me out of my shell
|
You show up on my doorstep - honey dripping from your mouth
|
Like some slackjaw Jezebel
|
|
Flesh and bones is all I'm made of
|
I couldn't have stopped you if I tried
|
The spell you were casting - way too heavy
|
Now I can't be satisfied
|
|
But you think you're going to save me - you better think again
|
I've had saviors galore
|
And although you are a vision - an angel wrapped in sin
|
I've seen it all before
|
|
Twisted angel, cast out of some strange heaven
|
Sent down here, landed on my window sill
|
Now you're walking through my back door - honey dripping from your mouth
|
Like some slackjaw Jezebel
|
|
You've got your bag of dust and your divining rod
|
I wonder how I got myself here
|
Wheel's spinning faster and I know I have to jump off
|
Guess I'm weighing the fire against the fear
|
|
You spoon-fed my ego, made me feel so young
|
Kissed me 'til my lips were sore
|
But I know you're just a Jezebel with a poisonous tongue
|
I've been down this road before
|
|
It's full of twisted angels, cast out of some strange heaven
|
Sent down here to put me through Hell
|
You show up on my doorstep - honey dripping from your mouth
|
Like some slackjaw Jezebel
|
Oh like some slackjaw Jezebel
|
