Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In our seminary
Of contradictions
Ella Fitzgerald, thizz and whipits
You were our priestess
[Verse 2]
You were dressed all in black
Singing Angel from Montgomery
On your front porch
I'd join in harmony
[Verse 3]
I was working as a soda jerk
Listening to old Panthers' stories
Over lime rickeys and tuna fish
When there were very little worries
[PreChorus]
To return your temple of song
Each embryonic stage
Passed through your doorway
Page after page
[Chorus]
Take it easy, Priestess
Take it easy, Priestess
Ooh, take it easy, Priestess
[Verse 4]
You were dealt a rotten hand
On a highway in Colorado
A wild horse swept under your legs
And wouldn't let you go
[Verse 5]
You saw that each one of us
Are opaque as woven air
Your dark humor no one could touch
From experience no one could bear
[Verse 6]
You slapped the Devil across his face
He puked up ice and black bile
How did you know how to frighten away
A being so vile?
[PreChorus]
No one could blame you
For being angry, resentful, or vicious
The entire universe deserved it
For being so malicious
[Chorus]
Take it easy, Priestess
Take it easy, Priestess
Ooh, take it easy, Priestess
[Verse 7]
You would put your cigarette out
On the bottom of your foot
You could be brutally honest
But it always did me good
[PreChorus]
Join the Good People
Shine, cheer, and bloom with the Three Charities
Sing again, sing again
Angel from Montgomery
[Chorus]
Take it easy, Priestess
Take it easy, Priestess
Ooh, take it easy, Priestess
[Chorus]
Take it easy, Priestess
Ooh, take it easy, Priestess
Take it easy, Priestess
Ooh, take it easy, Priestess
