angel

Concrete Blonde

What if I said I've
seen a miracle?
what if I said my
dreams come true?
would you believe
I have seen these things
with my own eyes &
saw the world go dark & dead
& then go green & blue again

you're my angel.
you're my devil, too.
When you fall,
raise your eyes &
know the sun & moon
will rise &
lift you up in love,
above this mad raging zoo

What if I told you
you were beautiful?
with your scars & missing parts & your
painted face?
What if I told you,
you were very necessary to the
chain, the vein, the children of
a young & foolish race?

you're my Angel.
you're my Devil, too.
When you fall,
raise your eyes &
know the sun & moon
will rise &
lift you up in love,
above this raging zoo

what if I said I
saw the future:
& the future was the
picture in your head?
what if I said to you to
paint another picture & you'd
wake up in that future that you'd
painted, & you did?
