From the recording All Her Angels
(Do you know this woman? I do! I bet you do too.)
Lyrics
She wears old voices like a winter coat
Heavy with worn out conversations
They keep her warm when she’s feeling cold
They keep her cold with new relations
So if you buy her smile for just a while
Consider what you have to lose
Cause all her angels drink tequila
And all her lovers sing the blues
She wears desire like a forest fire
Burning wild and unrequited
You’ll sear your soul if she lays you down
You won’t remember how to fight it
But in the ashes you might find regret
Is a bitter pill to choose
Cause all her angels drink tequila
And all her lovers sing the blues
She pulls you in like a moth to a backporch light
She’s a foolish sin but she gets you through the night
She wears her demons to the masquerade
Like silky feminine disguises
She never whispers not to be afraid
But she knows you’re none the wiser
So raise your glass and let your costume fall
Like the song you can’t refuse
Cause all her angels drink tequila
And all her lovers sing the blues
