lyrics

GO TO SLEEP WITH THE ANGELS
music/lyrics: bill mallonee

It’s good to see you old friend
I couldn’t pull you up for days
I heard you disappeared for spell
just outside Santa Fe
Did you go there for a new scene?
Did the train tracks get all crossed?
Did you go there for the mystics?
Did you go there to get lost?

Chorus:
to burn out like a sunset
o’er high deserts out west
burn out with every colour
leaping from your breast
and go to sleep with the angels
sleep with the secrets they tell
burn out like an old star
...and collapse on yourself

25 North and the snow cascades...
and for a moment I forget
just how good my hand got at dealing...
from the bottom of the deck
there’s a well I almost drowned in...
and were it not for love
you can fall pretty far and pretty hard...
but there’s always blue sky up above.

Chorus:
burn out like a sunset
o’er some desert in the west
burn out with every colour
that leaping from your breast
go to sleep with the angels
sleep with all the secrets they sell
burn out like an old star
...and collapse on yourself

Idle hands are the devil’s workshop....
I was employed there every day
sifting through those sad remains...
for a lil’ something I might save
I stole what there was left to steal...
from an altar made of bones
took back all those gifts I gave...
they were never your’s to own
