She'd been dancin' for ages through cities of bars
And she never had dreams so they never came true
And she never had dreams so they never came true
Oh, when I whispered I thought I could love her
A table top dancer, she would smile on cue
She'd been drained of her spirit all caged up in this zoo
And the bees they had stung her, the birds they had flown
Oh, those lips of an angel, angel in blue
There were guys she could number but none had she known
And as she stared out into nowhere
Angel in blue
Oh, the palest of angels, angel in blue
A wild cat angel, angel in blue
She was kickin' the habit of scoring in cars
Angel in blue
She just said, "Baby don't even bother to try"
I thought, yes, I thought, she might break down and cry
Oh, my fade away angel, an angel in blue
Angel in blue
And I watched as she spoke, her words chilled my bones
All her friends did her favors that were really just loans
