You scared me when I met you

The way you sparkled in the dark

I drove around for hours

But you never showed your heart

You took me in your arms

That smelled of oranges and sage

You tempted me with glory

Until I was your slave

Then you took me to the party

You said you loved to watch me dance

But you took home the latest thing

And there was no second chance



Chorus

Now your mountain's on fire your river's run dry

I got a burning desire to kiss an angel good bye

Climbing out of your smokescreen the weather looks clear

Leave an angel below me in the city of fear



You scare me when I see you

Because I remember times we had

How you shook me like a baby

Who had swallowed something bad

You scare me because I need you

Like a roof over my head

Like a baby needs new shoes

Mama's milk and daddy's bread

But you distrust my honesty

And you distrust my car

And you don't like the way I look

When I'm playing my guitar



Chorus



Sometimes I'm your lover your white knight your shining star

Sometimes I'm a dinosaur and I'm sinking in your tar



Chorus
