The Black Crowes - She Talks To Angels Lyrics

She never mentions the word, "Addiction"
In certain company
Yes, she'll tell you she's an orphan
After you meet her family

She paints her eyes as black as night now
Pulls those shades down tight
Yeah, she gives a smile when the pain come
The pain gonna make everything alright

Says she talks to angels
They call her out by her own name
Oh, yeah, she talks to angels
Says they call her out by her own name

She keeps a lock of hair in her pocket
She wears a cross around her neck
Yes, the hair is from a little boy
And they cross someone she has not met, well, not yet

Says she talks to angels
Says they all know her name
Oh, yeah, she talks to angels
Says they call her out by her name

She don't know no lover
None that I've ever seen
Yeah, to her that ain't nothin'
But to me, yeah, it mean, means everything

She paints her eyes as black as night now
She pulls those shades down tight
Oh, yeah, there's a smile when the pain comes
The pain gonna make everything alright
Alright, yeah, yeah

She talks to angels
Says they call her out by her name
Oh, yeah, yeah, angels
Call her out by her own name
Oh, whoa-oh, angels
They call her out by her own name

Oh, oh, she talks to angels
They call her out, yeah, yeah, call her out
Don't you know that they call her out by her name?
