Terrible Angels Songtext

von CocoRosie

If every angel's terrible
Then why do you welcome them?
If every angel's terrible
Then why do you welcome them?
If every angel's terrible
Then why do you welcome them?
You provide the birth bath
I provide the skin
And bathing in the moonlight
I'm to tremble like a kitten
If blue eyed babies
Raised as Hitler's little brides and sons
They got angelic tendencies
Like some boys tendto act like queens
Oh, if every angel's terrible
Then why do you watch her sleep?
You love to hear her sing
And wear purple eyes like rings
Well, the flowers have no scent
And the child's been miscarried

If every angel's terrible
Then why do you welcome them?
If every angel's terrible
Then why do you welcome them?
If every angel's terrible
Then why do you welcome them?
You provide the birth bath
I provide the skin
And bathing in the moonlight
I'm to tremble like a kitten

Oh, every angel's terrible
Said Freud and Rilke all the same
Rimbaud never paid them no mind
But Jimi Morrison had his elevators
His elevators
He had his elevator angels

And if every angel's terrible
Why do you hide inside her
Like a chil under a skirt?
The supermarket's loud and bright
And boy, don't she feel warm tonight?
Boy, don't she feel warm tonight?
Boy, don't she feel warm tonight?

(She sounded like an angel when she cried)

If every angel's terrible
Then why do you welcome then?
If every angel's terrible
Then why do you welcome then?
If every angel's terrible
Then why do you welcome then?
You provide the birth bath
And I provide the skin
She sounded like an angel when she cried
