angels - willi carlisle lyrics

i was born on the wide prairie
with it’s wheat so wild and strong
i left my home when i turned twenny*one
still dunno if i was wrong
‘cuz i know a girl down in southern illinois
who has me tangled up like kudzu vines
one good look at her shinin’ smile
you can tell she’ll never be mine

and to tell you the truth, i miss all the laughs
of lovin’ one another like sociopaths
so i’m waitin’, i’m waitin’, i’m waitin’, i’m waitin’
for angels to carry me back home

if i was a bird, i’d tear up my throat
throwin’ songs across telephone wires
if i was a dog i’d rattle my chain
let my handlers decide how i live, how i die
i’d howl at the wind, and p*ss on the grass
so they’d know who i was
ask me why i leave a dying trace
it’s either for fear or maybe because

well to tell you the truth, i can’t go free:
i need the master’s leash more than it needs me
so i’m waitin’, i’m waitin’, i’m waitin’, i’m waitin’
for angels to carry me back home
and i think i’ve arrived maybe once every year
when i’m laughin’ with friends before we leave
i think that i love you, i know that we’re dyin…
why the f*ck should that be what
we alternatingly believe?
what makes one feel holy makes another feel broke
like i’m mostly my hat, like i’m mostly my coat
and that lovers will lie is one thing you can trust
so what we ain’t said might still save us
i’ll be ashes if you be dust

and to tell you the truth, i think god’s there still
in a sweet lovin’ westland over the hill
so i’m waitin’, i’m waitin’, i’m waitin’, i’m waitin’
for angels to carry me back home

so i’m waitin’, i’m waitin’, i’m waitin’, i’m waitin’
for angels to carry me back home
