Lyrics


Angel in Hell
________________________________

Well I've travelled many highways, & I've weathered many storms
let the wind in the air be sure to take me there I'm gonna have to take it on home
see I've flown with the angels, touched there wings with my outstreched hands
wont you bottle up my soul, be sure to keep it cold, Im gonna have to sell it to the man

see I've waited over yonder, & I've waited over there
when the dust finally settles, I'll be the only angel in hell

Watch the waves rolling over, a dark sea full of dead buried souls
see the man he's coming and collecting, he's gonna take my soul on home

see I've waited over yonder, & I've waited over there
when the dust finally settles, I'll be the only angel in hell
see I've waited over yonder, & I've waited over there
when the dust finally settles, I'll be the only angel in hell
and when the dust finally settles, I'll be the only angel in hell
