Angie (The house of iniquity)

I drilled a hole into this city
ever since I found you
you showed me nothing like pity
for you that wouldn't do
oh oh oh
life used to be just a surface
right now it's a nest
since you made clear its purpose
explained all of the tests
oh oh oh


       float like a butterfly
       and sting just like a bee
       they say that about Ali
       but to me
       that's what your loving is like
       Angie (3x)


You say ain't the lights pretty
but I don't have to look
I can feel you beside me
that's enough light for me
oh oh oh
well I got taught a lesson
understand it or burst
'tween the guide and the lady
I feel good but it hurts
oh oh oh


refr


I hear you speaking my name
but I know it's no call
my name's yours, it's within you
it's my naught and my all
oh oh oh
you stepped out of my being
wet with rainbows of life
to confront me with the riddles
of sweet leisure and hard strife
oh oh oh


refr. (1974)
