She Talks to Angels (live Atlanta, December 1990)

She never mentions the word "addiction"
In certain company
Yeah, she'll tell you she's an orphan
After you meet her family

She paints her eyes as black as night now
She pulls her shades down tight
Girl, give a smile when the pain come
Pain, the only thing don't make it alright

Says she talks to angels
Said they call her out by her name
Oh well, she talks to angels
And they call her out by her name, ooh yeah

She keeps a lock of hair in her pocket
She wears a cross around her neck
They say that the hair was from a little boy
The cross from someone she had not met
No, not yet

Says she talks to the angels
And they call her out by her name
Well, she talks to angels
And they call her out by her name

She don't know no lover
None that I've ever seen
To her that don't mean nothin'
But to me, it means
Means everything

Means everything

Whoa, she paints her eyes as black as the night
You know, she pulls her shades on down tight
Said my girl wanna give a smile when the pain come
Pain, the only thing don't make it alright
Yeah, that's right

Says she talks to the angels
Well, they call her out by her name
Oh, well she talks to angels
And they call her out by her name
Well, she talks to the angels
And they call her out by her name

Oh, she talks to the angels
And they call her out
Oh they, call her out
Don't you know that
They call her out by her name?
By her name
