Rand Reynolds: Music

Be An Angel

January 28, 2012
R.Reynolds, ASCAP@2012

Diesel fumes

Curtains of dust

Dirty and broke.

Cars and trucks

And a mystery bus

Tinted black windows.

I flag a ride

I reluctantly get inside

The fear of not knowing

Where this car’s been

Or what this guy did

I got to get to where I’m going.

 

Lately, I been getting that feeling

Ain’t got no place to run anymore

Cities I leave seem to threaten me

People rotten to the core

And the bars where I hide

All the ugliness inside

But the fix is temporary

I lift my glass

Snorting powder off her ass

Pretty sick and really scary.

 

Said a silent prayer

For myself last night

I was up so high

Didn’t know how far I fell

I wear a Christian cross

But it’s showing signs of weakness

How can I be an angel

When I’m living in a hell?

 

All the love I‘ve gathered

Slipped thru my fingers

Like rain in my hand.

Time after time

I find my enemies laughing

Pretending to be my friend.  

I sat sinners at my table

And I met by guardian angel

But he wouldn’t tell me what to do. 

And do I love?

Hell, I don’t know

But I know that I supposed to.   

 

I won’t lie

                                                           I don't understand God                                                                

But I do know the devil

Everybody’s got their vice

And I sure got mine

Oh, the darkness that I dwell in.

Doubt in my beliefs

Have become part of me

Operating on tank of fear

I say hell is empty

And I know this because

All the demons are living here.
