Toyah – Angel & Me lyrics

(Willcox / Bogen)

I knock the telephone from the table
And the room starts to purr.
I splash the contents from a drawer,
A photo, mid-air, starts to twirl, it falls -

Why do you always cry when you come to see me?
I always die to see you smile.
You see, I have a secret -
That's why I always smile.

Yes I know the window's dirty,
And I've noticed that all the plants are dead.
Why don't you ever hear a single word I say?
I've been trying to tell you, she's on her way...
Angel!

I want to introduce you to someone you've never met before
As you can see she's very special to me.
She stretches the skin of her silvery wings,
Puts her hands through the bars to me.
She steps through the wall as if it's a door
And I rise from the floor as I did before.

I knock the 'phone from the table and the room starts purring,
I smash the contents from a drawer and a photo starts twirling
It's the angel, it's the angel,
It's the angel and me.

I push the blade into your eye,
Break the bars, watch you cry, set myself free -
It's the angel and me, and me.

I run in the wind, I run to the river,
There's blood on me, it's your memory.
It's the smile of, It's the smile of,
It's the smile of insanity.

You fall to the floor as my fist hits your jaw
But I don't cry! I don't cry!
I don't cry! I don't care.

Get your hands off me, get your hands off me,
Get your hands off me, can't you see?
She's come for me.
It's the angel, it's the angel, it's the angel and me.
It's the angel, it's the angel, it's the angel and me.
It's the angel, it's the angel,
It's the angel and me...
