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 you think I love you Just cause I said so. Butterflies shiver She lives 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 ====================================== I had a dream the other night You were in a bar in the corner on a chair Wearing a long white leather coat, Purple glasses and glitter in your hair And you said, hey, this is where I'm gonna sit, And buy you a drink someday You were going to the dog shows, But you kind'a lost your way You say, now I got all this room, And no money to decorate it, So some local customer, Put me in touch with the Man upstairs, He said, Little man, You got no business gettin' frustrated, You gotta rest You gotta rest You gotta rest You gotta reach down, & pick the crowd up Oh, I wanna reach down, & pick the crowd up Carry back in my hand, to the promised land To the promised land... Now I had some Angel shine my wings, She said nothin' but the best for the Golden Boy She made me promise not to tell, I had her under a spell, Singing golden words in a broken voice, And I caught some blessing on the wind I'm feeling lighter than a whisper from a dove I've got no hands to tie behind my back, And I'm sparking like a heart attack Now I've got room to spread my wings, And my messages of love... Yes love was my drug, But that's not what I died of, so don't think of me, Crying louder than some Billion Dollar Baby, ooh, I wanna rest I wanna rest I wanna rest I wanna reach down and pick the crowd up I wanna reach down and pick the crowd up Carry back in my hand, to the promised land To the promised land... To the promised land Yeah, I wanna reach down, Oh yeah, and pick the crowd up... (I wanna reach down) I wanna reach down! (And pick the crowd up) And pick the crowd up! (Carry back in my hand) Hand! (To the promised land) To the promised land (To the promised land) Ooh yeah!... Ah-ohh!...
