You Took The Words Right Out Of My Mouth
i'm feeling quite strange
it's not in my head
and it just gets in my way
we've done nothing wrong
it's taken so long
should've read more books
instead of listening to songs
is it meaningless, and excuse for stress?
a few key quotations always better than yes
i'd be enigmatic
never talk automatic
like the crowd from the art school
they're so important
we're all afraid of sale or return...
when the damage is done
this is sale or return
then you're sale or return (this is dead stock and reduced to clear)

Angel
It is a hurtin' thing you don't wanna talk about it
Pain in your heart well it's takin' your breath away
You left it in lipstick on the mirror no use talkin' about it
Love like this just don't come along every day
CHORUS:
Somebody just stop calling you angel
Somebody just let love get up and go downtown
Somebody just stop calling you angel
Angel wings out in the snow and mascara running down
They called you tookie in high school, you didn't mind it too much
Kind of nice to have a nickname, kind of like they thought about it
You wish that it stuck with you, didn't have to trade it in on
Some crazy lover's pet name, wind up hurtin' so much
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
He peeled the skin off of the world and you stopped breathin'
You drew a breath, he sighed, the air was freezin'
Two blood-red hearts pumpin' hard out in the open
You skinned your knee at kickball
Twenty years ago against all hopin'
Y'all put that hammer down and drove through love's angel food cake
Tastin' every spongy layer and lickin' frosting off the moon
Wild-eyed with excitement but childishly disappointed
Maybe even tasted better when mama let you lick the spoon
CHORUS
