[00:00.00]I Want The Angel (LP版) - The Jim Carroll Band
[00:07.87]I want the angel
[00:09.45]Whose dreams are fatal
[00:11.42]They 'cause the snake's milk to run and curdle
[00:15.10]I want the angel
[00:16.43]Whose darkness doubles
[00:18.25]It absorbs the brilliance of all my troubles
[00:22.39]I want the angel
[00:23.61]That will not shatter
[00:25.82]Every time I whisper girl it does not matter
[00:29.50]I want the angel
[00:31.36]Who's got the proof
[00:32.67]She signals her devotion from the rails on the roof
[00:36.90]I want the angel
[00:38.11]That comes to stay
[00:39.54]She don't let lawyers and ambition lead her away
[00:44.15]I want the angel
[00:45.64]Whose eyes are raving
[00:47.18]Who takes what I'm giving and not what I'm saving
[00:51.43]I want the angel
[00:52.77]Whose bones are so sharp
[00:55.11]That they can break through their own excuses
[01:01.41]Well to be a blind man
[01:02.91]Hey that would be a fine thing
[01:05.09]Then I could dream at night of total strangers
[01:08.80]And all the music would be so spaceless
[01:12.25]And all the women would be so faceless
[01:15.58]They'd be so faceless they'd be like old film
[01:19.53]Just like old film I never did process
[01:23.15]I want the angel
[01:24.39]That knows the sky
[01:25.97]She got virtue she got the parallel light in her
[01:29.32]Eye
[01:30.38]I want the angel
[01:31.79]That's partly lame
[01:33.26]She filters clarity from her desperate shame
[01:37.60]I want the angel
[01:39.04]That knows rejection
[01:40.40]Who's like a whore in love with her own reflection
[01:44.92]I want the angel
[01:46.34]Whose touch don't miss
[01:47.85]When the blood comes through the dropper like a thick
[01:50.49]Red kiss
[01:55.11]If I could break through I could be certain
[01:58.35]But this obsession is like some fiery curtain
[02:01.93]All the numbers reduced to zero
[02:05.09]And those who died young they are my heroes
[02:09.33]They are my heroes they took the walk
[02:12.65]Where the heart made sense and the mind can't talk
[02:16.48]I want the angel
[02:17.71]Whose child don't weep
[02:19.22]She's got dreams designed for eternal sleep
[02:23.69]I want the angel
[02:25.09]That will not change
[02:26.86]Into a four legged monster in love with the strange
[02:31.02]I want the angel
[02:32.42]That never chooses
[02:34.03]And don't come running back every time she loses
[02:38.12]But I want the angel that never loses
