Battery Angel

stay low

my darling

are you in or are you out

i drew a line

down to odessa

then south

rim bound

if we keep

running

will we be found

is it better to keep

holding on

when they've let out

the hounds

sentimental

foolish love

for a city

not of us

there's a name

for a slack eyed

romeo

singing a

song for you

if i keep

singing

will it

come true

see the saint

above the bowery

swaying

neon blue

singing to you

swing low

parade

black eye liner

heels straight

but she sees you

the battery angel

loves you

even when you've

lost your way

james was easy

going down

says tawny angel

i'm around

but

lover

i ain't proof

of you or anyone

else

my heart is

two arms

crossed

on bowery

and grand

they're saying, time to go

babe, it's time to end

they're singing

to you

sweet serenade

blessed be that

hides the stain

for the whole of

the battery angel

singing time

to get on

your way

oh sweet

doom parade

thank god

mary kept you

straight as the whole

of the cavalry is singing

singing

time to get

on with you

all i need

is charity

caught you lying

on your knees

oh my heart

may it lay to rest

on a kissing angel

giving head

my heart's still

two arms

crossed

on bowery

and grand

they're saying, time to go

babe, it's time to end

walk, walk me home

tonight

past the end

and past the light
