Sleeps With Angels Lyrics
she sleeps with angels way up high in the air.
she sleeps with angels she got angels in her hair.
they call her gabrielle from the way that she sings.
o lover come you ought to get you some wings.
she sleeps with angels up in the sky.
sleeping with angels you can't help but get high.
when you bag gets heavy baby lay down your load.
get on your hands and knees and do like you been told.
you can ask for more or ask for less.
or you can just sleep forever in that big feather bed.
with the angels in their long white robes.
sleeping with jesus lord, sleeping with jove.
sleep with the angels mama never look back.
sleep with the angels while the sky turn to black.
you can sleep under ladders on the tracks of a train.
but skeeping in the clouds won't keep you out of the rain.
she sleeps with angels she got angels in her hair.
they call her gabrielle from the way that she sings.
o lover come you ought to get you some wings.
sleeping with angels you can't help but get high.
when you bag gets heavy baby lay down your load.
get on your hands and knees and do like you been told.
you can ask for more or ask for less.
or you can just sleep forever in that big feather bed.
sleeping with jesus lord, sleeping with jove.
sleep with the angels mama never look back.
sleep with the angels while the sky turn to black.
you can sleep under ladders on the tracks of a train.
but skeeping in the clouds won't keep you out of the rain.

I must say... this song touches me... my mother committed suicide when I was 9 years old, and thought of things like this... I think he is writing this in a child-like way purposely. This is obviously about his mother who has passed on, and he is trying to think happily even though her suicide was wrong, and she was taking the easy way out... hence: "sleep with the angels mama never look back. sleep with the angels while the sky turn to black. you can sleep under ladders on the tracks of a train. but skeeping in the clouds won't keep you out of the rain"
Took me ages to realise this song was about suicide.
I just thought it was a shiney song about angels....
Yes, I AM an idiot.
