Beat Angels Lyrics
Rickie Lee Jones
Begging round the sun beaten streets
I cant make me no connections
Locals here no speak no english
Where is my woman, well no one knows
Ah well, some girls just have to leave in the night
While youre fast asleep
But I dont worry, I move in the dark
There were lights, there were border lights
I thought I heard that drum in the distance playing
I saw the light, I crossed my heart and beat angels were there
I woke in some hotel room
I could hardly remember my name
They were only sixteen years old
I felt so lonely, I felt so ashamed
I know sometimes I just have to leave
In the night, while youre fast asleep
But I dont worry, I move in the dark
There were lights, there were border lights
I thought I heard that drum in the distance playing
I turned around, I crossed my heart and beat angels were there
Dont you wonder where one goes wrong
Is it somewhere in a foreign rain?
Were sitting out the storm
Every lamplight in town
Man dont know when hes got it his grace
Till beat angels come and take her away, beat angels, beat angels
Well I crossed my heart and beat angels were there, beat angels?
