Terrible Angels

If every angel's terrible

Then why do you welcome them?

If every angel's terrible

Then why do you welcome them?

If every angel's terrible

Then why do you welcome them?

You say you'll provide the birdbath

If I provide the skin

And bathing in the moonlight

I'm to tremble like a kitten

If blue eyed babes raised as Hitler's little brides and sons

They got angelic tendencies

Like some boys tend to act like queens

If every angel's terrible

Then why do you watch her sleep?

Love to hear her sing and wear purple eyes like rings

And the flowers have no scent

And the child's been miscarried

If every angel's terrible

Then why do you welcome them?

If every angel's terrible

Then why do you welcome them?

If every angel's terrible

Then why do you welcome them?

You say you'll provide the birdbath

If I provide the skin

And bathing in the moonlight

I'm to tremble like a kitten

Oh, every angel's terrible

Said Freud and Rilke all the same

Rimbaud never paid them no mind

But Jimmy Morrison had his elevators

His elevators, he had his elevator angels

If every angel's terrible

Why do you hide inside her?

Like a child in a skirt

The supermarket's loud and bright

Boy, don't she feel warm tonight

Boy, don't she feel warm tonight

Boy, don't she feel warm tonight

If every angel's terrible

Then why do you welcome them?

If every angel's terrible

Then why do you welcome them?

If every angel's terrible

Why do you welcome them?

You say you'll provide the birdbath

If I provide the skin

She sounded like an angel when she cried
