Matthew Ryan - Chickering Angel lyrics

Me and Amy went for a ride Just after the rain last night When something I couldn't put a finger on Made me lift up off the gas and turn out the headlights Gliding 'neath those stars Past those shining Belleview houses and their foreign cars I could feel my heart beat When Amy lit a cigarette and put her hand on my knee I said, Angel I'm sad and I don't know why But with you by my side I'm nearly satisfied Angel, angel Then I thought to myself, me and Amy We'd be in the clear If I could just rob one of these lucky ba*tards And high tail it out of here Now when the car stopped I was restless We were just below the rise I could feel my lungs breathe When my Amy started to cry And I said, Angel It's sad but you know we try Stay here in the car While I go inside Angel, angel Angel, angel Now it couldn't have been ten minutes When I came out to find what really went down It was the smell of burnt rubber, gasoline Amy's perfume and the silence all around And it was the feel of broken gla** Under my feet and in my head No, it shouldn't have been Amy It should've been me instead And I said, Angel I'm sad now I know why 'Cause with you by my side I was nearly satisfied Angel, angel Angel, angel
