when she sang about angels

when she sang about angels

she looked at the sky

anybody else

anybody else

but i let it go by

when she sang about the fields

she raised up her arm

as if she was pushing back the cotton on some midwestern farm

when she sang about a boy

kurt cobain

i thought what a shame it wasn't about

tom verlaine

when she sang about angels

she looked at the sky

anybody else

anybody else

but i let it go by

then she threw some names

like she always did

she threw some names

she dropped some names

like she used to when i was a kid

when she sang about angels

she looked at the sky

anybody else

anybody else

but i let it go by

i let it go by

i let it go by
