Music by The Sticking Straight Ups
SONG FOR EVAN AND TAYLOR
when i was a boy, i lit off firecrackers in a field
spooking the bull, that used to live with my uncle johnny
kicking over the lantern, the field and the barn began to burn
and as if i were an angel, i crept silently into my bedroom
no one was around
as i crouched low to the ground
the warning engines sounded
lights were turning blinded me i cried
as the fire came inside
once i was a man, i pulled the trigger on my gatlin’gun
shooting down everyone, that had opposition in their eyes
hoping for a showdown, as i played the game of bonnie & clyde
and as if i were an angel, i crept silently into my bedroom
BRIDGE
heaven……….it’s the only place you’ll ever find me
heaven……….it’s me surfing to the sun
heaven……….it’s you smiling at my squirt gun
heaven……….it’s the only place for everyone
now that i’m an angel, i smile at the fire that spreads before me
stomping in the blaze, i singe myself into a pile of ashes
knowing in my heart, i had nothing to with it from the start
and as if i were an angel (child), i creep silently into my bedroom
BRIDGE
CHORUS
