A bad dream, so mean, rockin' me down like a slot machine
So many years, I don't know when, my dear how have you been
The way you looked the night we met, gets me hot breathin' oo cold sweat

You were so shy, and I was so high
That I don't remember the rest, but the one thing that I'll never forget

 Chorus:
Poison angel, trying to take my wings away
Poison angel, get down on your knees and pray

But there you were looking so cool, to this country boy in the New York groove
So you left me in the drink, laughing while you watch me sink

That I don't remember the rest, but the one thing that I'll never forget

You're a - chorus

(Solo)

Yeah you were some fun, but you never looked at the damage done

chorus

Poison angel, poison angel
