Richard John Thompson - Halo lyrics

Checkout, drop my gun to the floor

And put my hands through my hair

Run around looking for something I've forgotten

That never was there

All I said was put your hands to the floor

I know it doesn't mean much anymore

But has anybody seen my halo?

I thought I lost it here yesterday

Has anybody seen my halo?

I need it to avoid the rain

And how bad it feels

Wake up, put my clothes on and go

Back to the place I did so wrong

Loaded with nothing but a conscience

That's been dead for so long

I know you've got a right to be mad

I guess it doesn't mean much to be sad

Has anybody seen my halo?

I thought I lost it here yesterday

Has anybody seen my halo?

I need it to avoid the rain

And how bad it feels

9 o'clock, or something like that

I really don't know anymore

Light hits my face

Through the bars on the window

With my silhouette on the floor

Oh I've got these pictures in my mind

Of what I had to leave behind

Has anybody seen my halo?

I thought I lost it here yesterday

Has anybody seen my halo?

I need it to avoid the rain

And how bad it feels

And how bad it feels

And how bad it feels
