THE SUNBEAM HIT THE JIM BEAM &
RICOCHETTED OFF A BOTTHE OF COKE
CUT THROUGH THE STILL SMOLDERING
SECOND HAND NIGHT BEFORE SMOKE
WITH THE WHISKY HALF EMPTY, HALF IN ME
BOTH ENEMY AND FRIEND
LAST NIGHT HELPED DROWN THE SORROW
BUT TODAY IS TOMORROW AGAIN
WHEN YOU FALL FOR AN ANGEL LIKE HER
YOU'RE WALKING ON CLOUDS
WHEN YOU'RE IN LOVE YOU'RE SO UP
YOU FORGET TO LOOK DOWN
THE HIGHER AND HIGHER SHE TOOK ME
THE FARTHER I FELL
AND IT'S ANGELS LIKE HER THAT SEND GUYS LIKE ME
STRAIGHT TO HELL
THERE'S A RING ON HER FOREHEAD ON THE PICTURE
WHERE THE BOTTLE SAT LAST NIGHT
IT MIGHT LOOK LIKE A HALO BUT I KNOW
IT'S A TRICK OF THE LIGHT
AND THAT SMILE ON HER FACE HAS A WAY
THAT COULD FOOL ANY FOOL
SHE CAME STRAIGHT FROM HEAVEN
BUT I REMEMBER THE DEVIL DID TOO
WHEN YOU FALL FOR AN ANGEL LIKE HER
YOU'RE WALKING ON CLOUDS
WHEN YOU'RE IN LOVE YOU'RE SO UP
YOU FORGET TO LOOK DOWN
THE HIGHER AND HIGHER SHE TOOK ME
THE FARTHER I FELL
AND IT'S ANGELS LIKE HER THAT SEND GUYS LIKE ME
STRAIGHT TO HELL
