radio angel Lyrics

I met an angel in a rock and roll band

She made those minor chords

Sound so sweet

Felt like freedom dressed in lace

Wiped mascara off her face

And wrote songs

About being 17

We laid her ashes in Los Angeles

The music took her soul

She said California will kill me

But the day it does I guarantee

They'll play me on the radio

They'll play me on the radio

She has cassette tapes in her chevy van

And a sick black Fender HM

That would make

Her fingers bleed

But she poured out her heart in little bars on

Sunset Boulevard

Even if it was just for the bartender and me

We laid her ashes in Los Angeles

The music took her soul

She said California will kill me

But the day it does I guarantee

They'll play me on the radio

They'll play me on the radio

And the world will say

What a shame

Such a talent gone to waste

And they'll fall in love

A little too late

They'll print her picture in the magazines

Paint her golden

Paint her clean

And they'll fall in love

A little too late

We laid her ashes in Los Angeles

The music took her soul

She said California will kill me

But the day it does I guarantee

They'll play me on the radio

They'll play me on the radio

I knew an angel in a rock and roll band

She made those minor chords

Sound so sweet
