Angel & Me - Toyah

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…
