Angel

Hush little angel won't you try

The devil hears you when you cry

So you can't and you won't

Give up the ghost now

Leave it alone

You know you don't need those lessons

Someone else learned

It's your life

It's your right to burn

So you count and discount

All the cracks in the pavement

As you move about

You say that you'll take the push

For the sake of the pull

When you're deaf dumb and blind

Your eyes don't feel the wool

And every time it's

Hush little angel won't you try

The devil hears you when you cry

Hush little angel close your eyes

Think pleasant dreams and truer lies

It's not like those tales

Of glass and devotion

They like to sell

Oh you just want to be wanted

It's making you sick

But it's all right

Oh yeah it's only a prick

And that's how you know

That it's bad

It's the problem with pain

It's just something to have

Oh babe you're running the clock

Cuz you can't make it stop

So just sit still

And hope the hammer won't drop

And every time it's

Hush little angel won't you try

The devil hears you when you cry

Hush little angel close your eyes

Think pleasant dreams and bluer skies

Angel don't you cry
