J. Geils Band Angel In Blue
(Seth Justman) - 1981 We met in a bar Out on Chesapeake Bay With her white patent boots And her blouse red lame A table top dancer She would smile on cue Those lips of an angel Angel in blue She's been dancing for ages Though cities of bars She was kickin' the habit of scoring in cars She'd been drained of her spirit All caged in this zoo A wildcat angel Angel in blue And as she stared out into nowhere I thought, yes, I thought she might break down and cry When I whispered I thought I could love her She just said "Baby, don't even bother to try" And I watched as she spoke Her words chilled my bones All her friends did her favors That were really just loans And she never had dreams So they never came true The palest of angels Angel in blue And the bees they had stung her The birds they had flown There were guys she could number But none she had known And she never had dreams So they never came true My fade away angel Angel in blue
