Lyrics
angel pose words and music by john Bilinski c2000
i went to the graveyard to talk to death
death wasn't there she must have left
so i went to the church to talk to a preist
the preist was drunk eating his feast
i said tell me father just what is death
he said bless you son it's when you run out of breath
he pinched my cheek and twisted my nose
and i saw the sweet angel in her sweet angel pose
i was feeling winded so i called the doc
he said i can't help you son i'me on the clock
so i went to the jungle for the medicine man
he was scratching some symbols in the wet sand
tell me shaman what's beyond dying
he said you have to go there you know i'me not lying
he gave me some mojo juju up my nose
and i saw the sweet angel in her sweet angel pose
i came back across just as the sun was rising
feeling so good it was really surprising
i came back across those distant streams
my future is packed with all my dreams
that beautiful angel saved me from danger
i was a fool to fear death's no stranger
she touched my heart and my spirit rose
and i saw the sweet angel in her sweet angel pose
she lifted me up in her heavenly robes
and i saw the sweet angel in her sweet angel pose
