Angel On Fire Lyrics
Chris Cornell
She stands on her suitcase
And looks out her window at me.
The smile leaves her face,
The mirror dont like what it sees.
So she hides all her secrets.
Shes thinking Ill never know
That she burns like an angel
Into her fire she goes.
She dont miss nothing
Even though she pretends she dont see
Everything shes watching (? )
She puts her hand next to me
She says give me one reason
Why I should be here again.
But then she blows out the candle
And shows me the reason again.
Cause she loves like an angel
She burns like an angel on fire
On fire
After the movie,
She walks in the park with a friend.
She tells it to her straight.
He dont mean nothing to me.
She says I cant believe him
If I gave him enough rope hed hang me.
But when she turns to him
Theres no place shed rather be.
Cause she burns like an angel.
She burns like an angel on fire.
And shes stuck
When she comes on so hot.
And you have never felt
A heavenly slow burn.
Im so hot,
When I leave her cold,
Frying in her room
Like angels always do.
And did you really think I loved you
Just cause I said so?
Butterflies shiver (? )
She learns all the things that Ive known.
Shes thinking her diary
Convincing her words as she goes.
She says heaven forgive me
Am I going to pay for my sins?
Cause she burns like an angel
Everytime she lets me in.
