Well it's always been my nature to take chances My right hand drawin' back while my left hand advances Where the current is strong an' the monkey dances To the tune of a concertina. Blood dryin' in my yellow hair as i go from shore to shore I know what it is that has drawn me to your door But whatever could it be makes you think you've seen me before Angelina. Oh Angelina, oh Angelina. His eyes were two slits make any snake proud With a face that any painter would paint as he walked thru the crowd Worshippin' a god with a body of a woman well endowed An' the head of a hyena. Do i need your permission to turn the other cheek? If you can read my mind, why must i speak? No i have heard nothin' about the man that you seek Angelina. Oh Angelina, oh Angelina. In the valley of the giants where the stars 'n stripes explode The peaches they were sweet an' the milk 'n' honey flowed I was only followin' instructions when the judge sent me down the road With your subpoena. When you cease to exist then who will you blame? I've tried my best to love you but i cannot play this game Your best friend an' my worst enemy is one an' the same Angelina. Oh Angelina, oh Angelina. There's a black Mercedes rollin' thru the combat zone Your servants are half dead, you're down to the bone Tell me, tall men where would you like to be overthrown In Jerusalem or Argentina? She was stolen from her mother when she was three days old Now her vengeance has been satisfied an' her positions have been sold He's surrended by god's angels an' she's wearin' a blindfold But so are you, Angelina. Oh Angelina, oh Angelina. I see pieces of men marchin', tryin' to take heaven by force I can see the unknown rider, i can see the pale white horse In god's truth name, tell me what you want an' you'll have it of course Just step into the arena. Beat a path of retreat up them spiral staircases Past the tree of smoke, past the angel with four faces Beggin' god for mercy an' weepin' in unholy places Angelina. Oh Angelina, oh Angelina, oh Angelina.
