Angeline

Verse:
Angeline, your mother's calling you
She's been asking where you've been
I've run all out of stories, girl
It's time that you check in
The olive-shaded phone's about
To ring and do me in
Angeline

Verse:
Angeline, you're not an angel
Nor a demonistic page
Removed from some old book
From some old place in a darker age
Angeline, I like to say your name
To people I don't know
Angeline

Chorus:
But I think I've seen your future
All reflected in your eyes
Like an oracle of fortune
I might not can sympathize
For there is a substance
You have taken
That now has taken you

Now it's got your allegiance
Over anything at all
It's taken all your loves
And a ransom letter drawn
It's hid them in a deeper place
Than you would ever you could ever find

Bridge:

Verse:
Angeline, it's time to open up
Your hazel eyes and say
I'm leaving all these things behind
And greet a bright new day
Angeline, and if you don't
I expect you'll pass away
Angeline
