Angel On The Balcony 歌词

I saw an angel on the balcony Every inch a victim of her time A blessing for all seasons, ‘n’ yet Her red lips spilled lilly white lies Hard to tell from where I was standing Impossible to judge that smile Such cleverly crafted emotional doubt Often cited as a beggar’s disguise Angel on the balcony Come down from your natural high How was I supposed to think She’d be earning those wings Unless someone got hurt by those lies It looked like she knew what she was doing In the money Come rain or come shine Fearlessly free to surrender ‘n’ yet Her dignity safe inside She couldn’t help but make me wonder I couldn’t help but wonder why On a scale from 1 to 11 I came 1 point short to abide Angel on the balcony Come down from your natural high How was I supposed to think She’d be earning those wings Unless someone got hurt by those lies I’m just a bad case of best intentions Bound to get worse when I try It didn’t look like she envied me ‘N’ I didn’t even intend to try The last thing I remembered that evening The last thing that entered my mind Tempted not to take it like a gentleman I started looking for a cheap alibi Angel on the balcony Come down from your natural high How was I supposed to think She’d be earning those wings Unless someone got hurt by those lies You can’t tell a man what to aim for One clear shot in each life I saw an angel on the balcony ‘N’ her red lips spilled lilly white lies
