lyrics

Best keep your mind on your memory 'fore you start mixing up your lies
You won't be sure which threads you gave me when you sewed up your disguise
The ones I tied around your notion left you waste deep in my mind
And left me floating 'round this fateful ocean wasted as I gnawed off all the bait upon your lyin'

You tie your shoes when you love me so you don't trip and fall
Well, I know this road is rocky and it get's us one and all
But I can't account for nothing babe, all I can do is try to hear your call
And I've been waiting 'round this telephone forever and I ain't heard nothing at all

Oh, but I have been around, I've been around this whole town
And I am coming back around just to tell you what I've found
I found a sweet little angel, she gonna turn me right back around

Oh, but I have been around, I've been around this whole town
And I am coming back around just to tell you what I've found
I found a sweet little angel, she gonna turn me right back around

You must think the world is your oyster and you must be the pearl
Oh, but you ain't no natural wonder, you're just a made up little girl
With a silver dagger in your mouth on the day you entered in this world
And men who fall against your lips around your painted fingertips will twirl

Oh, but I have been around, I've been around this whole town
And I am coming back around just to tell you what I've found
I found a sweet little angel, she gonna turn me right back around

Yes, but I have been around, I've been around this whole town
And I am coming back around just to tell you what I've found
I found a sweet little angel, she gonna turn me right back around
I found a sweet little angel, she gonna turn me right back around
