lyrics

Kick my feet against the counter
See the patrons & the saints
& I see you through the smoke of my cigarette
Is it true that we deserve what we’re gonna get?
& are the angels pretty?

I see the minutes turn to hours – but then again
I’ve been late for all my life
I stand outside & make a wish upon a star
For you to come around to my side of the bar
& are the angels pretty?

How pretty are they?
Are they prettier than pretty?
So pretty that it hurts & makes you close your eyes
Or just good looking?

Who was there when you came knocking?
Do we have to be afraid?
Do we really need what we’ve been praying for?
Do we really keep our secrets or do we leave them at the door?
& are the angels pretty?

"There’s substance, originality, & cleverness at work here. I admire how these people take something that already exists traditionally & reinterpret it with their own ingredients to create something truly effective that resonates. This record is straight whiskey. Tom Waits would be proud."—AMERICANA HIGHWAYS ... more
