Jethro Tull - Back-door Angels Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • In and out of the front door, ran twelve back-door angels.
  • Their hair was a golden-brown ---
  • They didnt see me wink my eye.
  • `tis said they put we men to sleep with just a whisper,
  • And touch the heads of dying dogs --- and make them linger.
  • They carry their candles high --- and they light the dark hours.
  • And sweep all the country clean with pressed and scented wild-flowers.
  • They grow all their roses red, and paint our skies blue ---
  • Drop one penny in every second bowl ---
  • Make half the beggars lose,
  • Why do the faithful have such a will to believe in something?
  • And call it the name they choose,
  • Having chosen nothing.
  • Think Ill sit down and invent some fool ---
  • Some grand court jester.
  • And next time the die is cast, hell throw a six or two.
  • In and out of the back-door, ran one front-door angel,
  • Her hair was a golden-brown ---
  • She smiled and I think she winked her eye.
