-ANGEL ON THE BALCONY-

I Saw An Angel On The Balcony
Every Inch A Victim Of Her Time
A Blessing For All Seasons, ‘n’ Yet
Her Red Lips Spilled Lilly White Lies
Hard To Tell From Where I Was Standing
Impossible To Judge That Smile
Such Cleverly Crafted Emotional Doubt
Often Cited As A Beggar’s Disguise
Angel On The Balcony
Come Down From Your Natural High
How Was I Supposed To Think
She’d Be Earning Those Wings
Unless Someone Got Hurt By Those Lies

It Looked Like She Knew What She Was Doing
In the Money…Come Rain Or Come Shine
Fearlessly Free To Surrender ‘n’ Yet
Her Dignity Safe Inside
She Couldn’t Help But Make Me Wonder
I Couldn’t Help But Wonder Why
On A Scale From 1 to 11
I Came 1 point Short To Abide
Angel On The Balcony
Come Down From Your Natural High
How Was I Supposed To Think
She’d Be Earning Those Wings
Unless Someone Got Hurt By Those Lies
I’m Just A Bad Case Of Best Intentions
Bound To Get Worse When I Try
It Didn’t Look Like She Envied Me
‘n’ I Didn’t Even Intend To Try
The Last Thing I Remembered That Evening
The Last Thing That Entered My Mind
Tempted Not To Take It Like A Gentleman
I Started Looking For A Cheap Alibi
Angel On The Balcony
Come Down From Your Natural High
How Was I Supposed To Think
She’d Be Earning Those Wings
Unless Someone Got Hurt By Those Lies
You Can’t Tell A Man What To Aim For
One Clear Shot In Each Life
I Saw An Angel On The Balcony
‘n’ Her Red Lips Spilled Lilly White Lies
