angels and dust(Arnold Melleby, 08.25.2018)

I fired up on the porch
the sky lit up like open fire
starting off at the Cat and the Fiddle
ending up at the Rainbow

sex on the floor
just to make you feel like a whore
when the morning came
the slut was gone

she put on a salesmans face
looking like she could
save the human race

yeah,
she put on a salesmans face
looking like she could
save the human race

you wanted a part
of my business
you paid me with
your nonsense
making no sense
to me

but, I`m still happy
being happy like this
should be forbidden
to be
making no sense
to me

singing
I`m good
I`m the best
there is no
second best

singing
I`m good
I`m the best
there is no
second best

the wine is setting
when the moon is rising
with the sun
lighting the trail
of the eternal horizon

If I was to speak
I wouldn`t put it
any other way
but, I came and expected
champagne and oysters
but, all I could smell was
frozen peas
and constipation

whenever great poetry is written
whenever great words are spoken
I`ll be there
to be one of the chosen ones
singing like an angel
with dirty feathers
thinking lies
is a better way

angels and dust
angels and dust
angels and dust
I am the only angel
in this room

angels and dust
angels and dust
angels and dust
I am the only angel
in this room

so, cheers
to all the indigenous ones
you took
and you didn`t even bother
to write a book
about it

you see a sky
left to dry
you see a sky
left to die
stil left
of right

angels and dust
angels and dust
angels and dust
I am the only angel
in this room

angels and dust
angels and dust
angels and dust
I am the only angel
in this room

fuckin` a
