Angeline

Well you lived your whole life like a high wire act
No safety net and the wind at your back
Bet you gave your poor dad a heart attack, yeah
Craziest girl in the whole dame school
Had us all wishing that we were you
But no one had the balls or the follow through

Oh, Angeline I like your style
Saw everything through the eyes of a child
You only gave us a little while to see
Well you burned a hole right through this life
Came out clean on the other side
I guess you're finally where you're s'posed to be
Angeline

I can still see you dancing naked in the rain
Playing chicken with that cross town train
If I didn't know you I'd have called you insane

Oh, Angeline I like your style
Saw everything through the eyes of a child
You only gave us a little while to see
Well you burned a hole right through this life
Came out clean on the other side
I guess you're finally where you're s'posed to be
Angeline

When they called me to tell me you'd met your demise
Well, I let the tears fall from my eyes
'Cause I was stunned but I was hardly surprised

Oh, Angeline I like your style
Saw everything through the eyes of a child
You only gave us a little while to see
Well you burned a hole right through this life
Came out clean on the other side
I guess you're finally where you're s'posed to be
