angels heap

news travels fast

there's an old wreck in the underpass

wine in a glass

and a well travelled bed

down the length and breadth of the motorway

down the information highway

i took a ride

in an angels heap

yeah i took a ride

and she took me away

to where the hills are steep

yeah i took a ride

in the still mind of a child

there's a live bird on her shoulder

she could swallow a lie

like she's drinking a flagon of beer

i'll never be the same again

let the black wheels fly over

i took a ride

in an angels heap

and she took me away

to where the air was sweet

and she made me come alive

in a red vinyl seat

yeah i took a ride

let the black wheels fly over
