Philip Morrison Singing His Original "Angel With Dirty Wings"

"Angel With Dirty Wings" Music and Lyrics by Philip Morrison Copyright 2008

Lyric

A
You're green as a sapling
Which sprouted just last spring
You put too much trust in others like a child
But weeds take advantage
When they're not managed
Cute kudzu can kill you if you let it run wild

A
I've roamed thieves' encampments
Where flim-flam runs rampant
I still have my skin and now I've gotten wise
To cheats who heap caca
Make you all ga-ga
Then snag all your money while you sit mesmerized

B
To slip those fast-fingered Joes
Who'd pick-pocket all your dough
Just set me beside you
And call me your angel with dirty wings

You won't be a shill for love
Or empty your till for love
If you'd let me guide you
And call me your angel with dirty wings

If life's about who you know
I'll hook you up with some pros
My friends in high places
Owe big to this angel with dirty wings

I give my advice for free
To those who've been good to me
God knows you deserve it
So call me your angel with dirty wings

Tag:

Just call me your angel with dirty wings.
