Angela by The Blood Arm Lyrics
[Verse]
Angela
Have you ever seen the light at dawn
Inside the apartment of
A hopeless homewrecker?
Angela
How is it in Washington?
With all of those teenage gods
And royal weddings
Angela
Why do they take your photograph
Every time you are passing through
The gates of Osaka?
Angela
Isn’t there a parking lot
Right where we were shot
The twenty-second of November?
[Bridge]
But now that you’re gone
I am filled with unreason
You said I was done
And accused me of treason
Though overworked and so hard won
You know I couldn’t love just anyone
I’ve got a boat to sink
I miss you like a nuclear bomb
[Bridge 2]
Once we were the scandal
In a century of vandals
Will they lavish us with mad conspiracies?
Oh no they won’t cuz
Sometimes once is not enough, I said
Sometimes once is not enough
I’ve had it rough for far too long so
Won’t you make my telephone sing? oh
Badada badadada
Badabada baba badadada
Badabada baba badadada
Badabada baba
Excelsior!
[Outro]
Angela
I’ve been a gentleman
I’ve been a false alarm
But I’ve never been a legend
Angela
Have you ever seen the light at dawn
Inside the apartment of
A hopeless homewrecker?
Angela
How is it in Washington?
With all of those teenage gods
And royal weddings
Angela
Why do they take your photograph
Every time you are passing through
The gates of Osaka?
Angela
Isn’t there a parking lot
Right where we were shot
The twenty-second of November?
[Bridge]
But now that you’re gone
I am filled with unreason
You said I was done
And accused me of treason
Though overworked and so hard won
You know I couldn’t love just anyone
I’ve got a boat to sink
I miss you like a nuclear bomb
[Bridge 2]
Once we were the scandal
In a century of vandals
Will they lavish us with mad conspiracies?
Oh no they won’t cuz
Sometimes once is not enough, I said
Sometimes once is not enough
I’ve had it rough for far too long so
Won’t you make my telephone sing? oh
Badada badadada
Badabada baba badadada
Badabada baba badadada
Badabada baba
Excelsior!
