lyrics

the shadow in the corner wasn’t there today
i have a feeling that i’m gonna change
no honey you don’t need to know a thing
i promise you don’t need to know a thing
you look so simple on the velvet couch
but not easy enough for somebody else
chin up, so innocent, you’re breaking me down
but that does nothing for the rest of the town

i won’t, i won’t, i won’t
stop

quit your crying, it shouldn’t surprise you
i’m not dying, i’m just passing through
i keep a matchbook and a loaded gun
maybe i’m not an angel like you thought.
i don’t think you’ll like my kind of fun
maybe i’m not an angel like you thought.

you might hear something on the news sometime
the serpents told me to, they said i’d be fine
it’s not like i left a scene to find
the ashes of them became one with the night
you make me start to think i should settle down
i would have long ago if i just knew how
but they keep making me go back into town
i clean up well enough to never be found

no, i won’t, i won’t, i won’t
stop

quit your crying, it shouldn’t surprise you
i’m not dying no i’m just passing through
i keep a matchbook and a loaded gun
maybe i’m not an angel like you thought
no i don’t think you’ll like my kind of fun
maybe i’m not an angel like you thought
