The Affordable Floors - The Angel Lyrics




Last night, last night
I drove home past dark parking on the street
As I climbed from my car I dropped my keys on the cobblestone
I think I must have been hurried
Sometimes I hurry in the dark

I crouched for my keys on the curb
I crouched for my keys on the curb
When I looked up, I saw an angel

It is a terrible thing
I can't tell you what a terrible thing it is
It is a terrible thing

The angel's eyes were fire
The angel's eyes were fire

The angel's eyes were fire and turned slowly like the blade of a rotary saw
It's skin was radiant white like glass in a furnace
It's wings blew back and billowed like huge sheets on a clothesline
The angel raised its hands looked down at me
Tears ran down its face and it spoke to me
Tears ran down its face as it said

Wake up Wake up
Tonight may be the night your soul is required of you

I can tell you your knees fail you
I can tell you your knees fail you
I can tell you your knees fail you

Your knees fail you and you kneel gracelessly
I can tell you that I pissed myself
It is a terrible thing to see an angel

Maybe if I hadn't, but I did
With the sudden shock of shame and recognition
I fell before the angel on my knees
Tears ran down its face
Tears ran down its face as it spoke to me
Tears ran down its face as it said

Wake up Wake up
Tonight may be the night your soul is required of you

The angel passed right through me
The angel passed right through me
The angel passed right through me
I was like smoke from a cigarette
And it was more real than me

My eyes went out
My eyes went out
And in a moment I was cold on the sidewalk
I was cold against my car door with my
Keys in my hand
Cold piss on my legs

My eyes went out

My body shook
My body shook

Tears ran down my face as it said

Wake up Wake up
Tonight may be the night your soul is required of you

It is a mercy that you've never seen an angel
It is a mercy that you've never seen an angel
It is a mercy that you've never seen an angel

Are you ready
Are you ready now
Are you ready
Are you ready now
Are you ready
Are you ready now
Are you ready
Are you ready now
Are you ready
Are you ready now
Are you ready
Are you ready now
