Angel

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Suzanne Vega] Here's a young one Hey Rufus How's the rain on the rhubarb? You wanna go out with me? Yeah, I know, we're out It's, like, a figure of speech All you need is a real girl guide Give it up and come inside Slip the leash, shake it loose Bite the peach, suck the juice [Chorus: Suzanne Vega, Joe Jackson] What did you call me? Angel What was that again? Angel [Bridge: Dawn Upshaw] Ave gloriosa virginum regina Vitis generosa, vite medicina Clemencie resina Ave copiosa gracie piscina Carnis maculosa mund' illum sentina Mundicie cortina [Verse 2: Suzanne Vega] Hey, chicken Is that your girl? Bet she lays like a lump What's your poison—lemonade? Velveteen or a razor blade? You wanna walk in the dark with me To a place where no one sees? Kiss the glove Pretty please You wanna pray? On your knees [Chorus: Suzanne Vega, Joe Jackson] What did you call me? Angel Say it again Angel [Bridge: Dawn Upshaw] Claritate radiosa, stella matutina Brevitate legis glossa, perte lex divina Irradiat doctrina Venustate vernans rosa, sine culpe sina Caritate viscerosa, aurem buc inclina Serves ill'a ruina [Outro: Suzanne Vega] Hey, sailor How's the steam in the stovepipe?
