Infamous Angel |
| Last night, before I went to sleep, my knees dropped to the floor |
| I turned my eyes up to the sky and I prayed, «please help me, Lord |
| You know I’ve sowed my wild oats, and now the fun’s all gone» |
| And then I heard these tender words and I put them in my song |
| Infamous angel, come on home |
| To someone who loves you and knows you needed to roam |
| Grab your things, a ticket’s waiting at the bus depot |
| For infamous angel, destination: home |
| I heard heaven’s choir rejoicing as the tears broke from my eyes |
| And, all at once, it lifted the weight from my past life |
| I found a pen and I left a note on the dresser drawer |
| «Infamous angel, she don’t live here anymore» |
| Infamous angel, come on home |
| To someone who loves you and knows you needed to roam |
| Grab your things, a ticket’s waiting at the bus depot |
| For infamous angel, destination: home |
| Then I hurried out the back door as quickly as I could |
| I went flying down two flights of stairs 'til on the street I stood |
| And there I took that final look at my old neighbourhood |
| Then I ran down the street proclaiming, «angel gone for good» |
| Infamous angel, going home |
| To someone who loves her and knows she needed to roam |
| She grabbed her things and claimed the ticket at the bus depot |
| For infamous angel, destination: home |
| Infamous angel, destination: home |
