8. Poison Angel (3:27)
I know, that you know that
I've seen your face before
A bad dream, so mean
Rockin' me down like a slot machine
So many years, I don't know when
My dear how have you been?
The way you looked the night we met
Gets me hot breathin', oooh cold sweat
You were so shy-y-y-y
And I was so high
That I can't remember the rest
But the one thing that I'll never forget
[Chorus:]
You're a poison angel
Tryin' to take my wings away
Poison angel
Get down on your knees and pray
I still remember what you said
The part about me dropping dead
You sent a letter, I've read it twice
I found out you weren't so nice
But there you were, looking so cool
To this country boy in the New York groove
And there you left me in the drink
Laughing while you watched me sink
You were so shy-y-y-y
And I was so high
That I can't remember the rest
But the one thing that I'll never forget
[Chorus:]
You're a poison angel
Tryin' to take my wings away
Poison angel
Get down on your knees and pray
[Solo]
Yeah, you were some fun
But you never looked at the damage done
[Chorus:]
Poison angel
Tryin' to take my wings away
Poison angel
Get down on your knees and pray
Poison angel.........
I've seen your face before
A bad dream, so mean
Rockin' me down like a slot machine
So many years, I don't know when
My dear how have you been?
The way you looked the night we met
Gets me hot breathin', oooh cold sweat
You were so shy-y-y-y
And I was so high
That I can't remember the rest
But the one thing that I'll never forget
[Chorus:]
You're a poison angel
Tryin' to take my wings away
Poison angel
Get down on your knees and pray
I still remember what you said
The part about me dropping dead
You sent a letter, I've read it twice
I found out you weren't so nice
But there you were, looking so cool
To this country boy in the New York groove
And there you left me in the drink
Laughing while you watched me sink
You were so shy-y-y-y
And I was so high
That I can't remember the rest
But the one thing that I'll never forget
[Chorus:]
You're a poison angel
Tryin' to take my wings away
Poison angel
Get down on your knees and pray
[Solo]
Yeah, you were some fun
But you never looked at the damage done
[Chorus:]
Poison angel
Tryin' to take my wings away
Poison angel
Get down on your knees and pray
Poison angel.........
