Hell’s Angel

Don’t kiss my face

Or hurt my wrists

My body is warm in the night

And my shirt is still properly on.

I’m the prettiest sin you have ever seen

My eyes are green,

My disguise pleasing.

But all the Angels know

How hard I fell

And the blisters on my hands

Still sore from

How I clung to the gates of Heaven.

He built up a storm

To blow me out

And burnt the Banishment Mark

Onto my trembling eyelid.

If you kiss me hard enough

So that I close my eyes

You’ll see it

And be bound to me.

So run away fast young man

You’ve come on to the devil’s daughter

Don’t give me your jacket or a cigarette

Leave my body to freeze in the night

Just move onto that blonde girl

Whose halo hasn’t faded yet

Because soon my eyes will turn to black

And then there’s no going back.
