Lyrics Nellie McKay

Nellie McKay

Angel Eyes

Try to think that love's not around

But it's uncomfortably near

My old heart ain't gaining no ground

Because my angel eyes ain't here

Angel eyes, that old Devil sent

They glow unbearably bright

Need I say that my love's misspent

Misspent with angel eyes tonight

So drink up all you people

Order anything you see

Have fun you happy people

The laughs and the jokes on me

Pardon me but I got to run

The fact's uncommonly clear

Got to find who's now number one

And why my angel eyes ain't here

Excuse me while I disappear
