Toyah - Angel and Me Lyrics

Angel And Me

I knock the telephone from the table
And the room starts to purr.
I splash the contents from a drawer,
A photo, mid-air,
Starts to twirl,
It falls –

Why do you always cry when you come to see me?
I always die to see you smile.
You see, I have a secret –
ThatÂ's why I always smile.

Yes I know the windowÂ's dirty,
And IÂ've noticed that all the plants are dead.
Why donÂ't you ever hear a single word I say?
IÂ've been trying to tell you
SheÂ's on her way –
Angel!

I want to introduce you to someone
YouÂ've never met before –
As you can see sheÂ's very special to me.

She stretches the skin of her silvery wings,
Puts her hands through the bars to me.
She steps through the wall
As if itÂ's a door
And I rise from the floor
As I did before.

I knock the Â'phone from the table
And the room starts purring,
I smash the contents from a drawer
And a photo starts twirling
ItÂ's the angel,
ItÂ's the angel,
ItÂ's the angel and me.

I push the blade to your eye,
Break the bars,
Watch you cry,
Set myself free –
ItÂ's the angel and me,
And me.

I run in the wind,
I run to the river,
ThereÂ's blood on me,
ItÂ's your memory.

ItÂ's the smile of
ItÂ's the smile of
ItÂ's the smile of
insanity.

You fall to the floor
As my fist hits your jaw
But I donÂ't cry
I donÂ't cry
I donÂ't cry
I donÂ't care.

Get your hands off me,
Get your hands off me,
Get your hands off me,
CanÂ't you see?
SheÂ's come for me.

ItÂ's the angel,
ItÂ's the angel,
ItÂ's the angel and me.

ItÂ's the angel,
ItÂ's the angel,
ItÂ's the angel and me.

ItÂ's the angel,
ItÂ's the angel,
ItÂ's the angel and me...
