WHAT's NEW
Angel Cursed
By Alec Crawford

Sessions down on Cherry Street
Cheap beer and Marlboro Lights
Getting wasted, indiscreet
Hot on Saturday nights
We pretended we were free

Weren't we?

Passions sparked in barroom fights
Many friends, but trusted few
Who gave a damn who was right?
Just shouted out, "More brew!"
"I wanna get fucked tonight!"

Didn't I?

Confessions of things untrue
You whispered, "You're my first."
I sighed, "I love you, too."
You cried, "I hear it hurts."
But you sure knew what to do!

Didn't you?

Lacerations barely nursed
Whiskey shots to ease the pain
I see your tears, unrehearsed
Trapped onboard the morning train
Screaming like an angel cursed

Angel cursed
