Tom Waits - I Wish I Was In New Orleans lyrics

I got a girl with her eyes wide open

her vision pierces the sky

her name is Angel 'n' she's just like a raven

wild eyes

no one can tell me no no nobody knows

where she comes from or where she goes

such a dangerous girl with her dreams intact

wild eyes

CHORUS

now now angel

now now wild eyes

now now angel

now now wild eyes

off the planet and across your brains

break the walls i'm in love again

and even telepathic children

have to eat their vegetables

wild eyes

there were days when we linked our arms

swayed and sang with our fists in the air

and as the sirens sang we asked for more

with wild eyes

angel and I need more of what's real

and we want it now

REPEAT CHORUS

like a shadow on the walls of time

like a soldier at the walls of troy

like a lover at your heart again

i wanna break through
