I know that you know
that I've seen your face before.
A bad dream, so mean,
rockin' me down like a slot machine.
So many years, I don't know when.
My dear, how have you been?
The way you looked the night we met
gets me hot breathin', ooh, cold sweat.
You were so shy
and I was so high
that I don't remember the rest.
But the one thing that I'll never forget:
You're a poison angel
tryin' to take my wings away.
Poison angel,
get down on your knees and pray.
I still remember what you said,
the part about me droppin' dead.
You sent a letter, I read it twice,
I found out you weren't so nice.
But there you were, looking so cool
to this country boy in the New York groove.
So you left me in the drink,
laughing while you watched me sink.
You were so shy
and I was so high
that I don't remember the rest.
But the one thing that I'll never forget:
You're a poison angel
tryin' to take my wings away.
Poison angel,
get down on your knees and pray.
Yeah, you were some fun,
but you never looked at the damage done.
Poison angel
tryin' to take my wings away.
Poison angel,
get down on your knees and pray.
(Poison angel)
