Chickering Angel |
Me and Amy went for a ride |
Just after the rain last night |
When something I couldn’t put a finger on |
Made me lift up off the gas and turn out the headlights |
Gliding 'neath those stars |
Past those shining Belleview houses and their foreign cars |
I could feel my heart beat |
When Amy lit a cigarette and put her hand on my knee |
I said, Angel |
I’m sad and I don’t know why |
But with you by my side |
I’m nearly satisfied |
Angel, angel |
Then I thought to myself, me and Amy |
We’d be in the clear |
If I could just rob one of these lucky bastards |
And high tail it out of here |
Now when the car stopped I was restless |
We were just below the rise |
I could feel my lungs breathe |
When my Amy started to cry |
And I said, Angel |
It’s sad but you know we try |
Stay here in the car |
While I go inside |
Angel, angel |
Angel, angel |
Now it couldn’t have been ten minutes |
When I came out to find what really went down |
It was the smell of burnt rubber, gasoline |
Amy’s perfume and the silence all around |
And it was the feel of broken glass |
Under my feet and in my head |
No, it shouldn’t have been Amy |
It should’ve been me instead |
And I said, Angel |
I’m sad now I know why |
'Cause with you by my side |
I was nearly satisfied |
Angel, angel |
Angel, angel |
