Текст The Jim Carroll Band — I Want the Angel

I want the angel
Whose dreams are fatal
They cause the snakes milk to run and curdle
I want the angel
Whose darkness doubles
It absorbs the brilliance of all my troubles
I want the angel
That will not shatter
Every time I whisper, «girl it does not matter»
I want the angel
Whos got the proof
She signals her devotion from the rails on the roof
I want the angel
That comes to stay
She dont let lawyers and ambition lead her away
I want the angel
Whose eyes are raving
Who takes what Im giving and not what Im saving
I want the angel
Whose bones are so sharp
That they can break through their own excuses
Well, to be a blind man,
Hey, that would be a fine thing
Then I could dream at night of total strangers
And all the music would be so spaceless
And all the women would be so faceless,
Theyd be so faceless theyd be like old film
Just like old film I never did process
I want the angel
That knows the sky
She got virtue, she got the parallel light in her eye
I want the angel
Thats partly lame
She filters clarity from her desperate shame
I want the angel
That knows rejection
Whos like a whore in love with her own reflection
I want the angel
Whose touch dont miss
When the blood comes through the dropper like a thick red kiss
If I could break through I could be certain
But this obsession is like some fiery curtain
All the numbers reduced to zero
And those who died young, they are my heroes
They are my heroes, they took the walk
Where the heart made sense and the mind cant talk
I want the angel
Whose child dont weep
Shes got dreams designed for eternal sleep
I want the angel
That will not change
Into a four-legged monster in love with the strange
I want the angel
That never chooses
And dont come running back every time she loses
But I want the angel that never loses
