I Want the Angel
I want the angelWhose dreams are fatalThey cause the snake's milk to run and curdleI want the angel Whose darkness doublesIt absorbs the brilliance of all my troublesI want the angel That will not shatterEvery time I whisper, Girl it does not matterI want the angelWho's got the proofShe signals her devotion from the rails on the roofI want the angelThat comes to stayShe don't let lawyers and ambition lead her awayI want the angelWhose eyes are ravingWho takes what I'm giving and not what I'm savingI want the angelWhose bones are so sharpThat they can break through their own excusesWell, to be a blind man,Hey, that would be a fine thingThen I could dream at night of total strangersAnd all the music would be so spacelessAnd all the women would be so faceless,Letras de cancionesThey'd be so faceless they'd be like old filmJust like old film I never did processI want the angelThat knows the skyShe got virtue, she got the parallel light in her eyeI want the angelThat's partly lameShe filters clarity from her desperate shameI want the angel That knows rejectionWho's like a whore in love with her own reflectionI want the angelWhose touch don't missWhen the blood comes through the dropper like a thick red kissIf I could break through I could be certainBut this obsession is like some fiery curtainAll the numbers reduced to zeroAnd those who died young, they are my heroesThey are my heroes, they took the walkWhere the heart made sense and the mind can't talkI want the angelWhose child don't weepShe's got dreams designed for eternal sleepI want the angel That will not changeInto a four-legged monster in love with the strangeI want the angelThat never choosesAnd don't come running back every time she losesBut I want the angel that never loses From Letras Mania
