Verse:
G C D
Oh Angeline, I love you, your mouth is like a sting
Em Bm C D
and when I close my eyes each night I often hear you sing

Imagination's hidden book, you wrote it on the wing
Em Bm C D
And when I vowed to comfort you, you swallowed everything.

Angeline, oh my Angeline

My sweet Angeline - you have rendered me unseen
Em C D G C
I would cry a million smiles for my Indian City queen
Verse:
Well your body it is broken in so many different ways
And when I stoop to find your head, well it disappeared in haze
Your blood flows like the finest wine - the kiss of Burgundy
And where it comes from, no one knows, but where its going I can't see
Chorus:
Angeline, oh my Angeline
My sweet Angeline - you have rendered me unseen
I would cry a million smiles for my Indian City queen

Verse:
And your crystal coloured cardboard bins - attack me from the paint
and I think I'm getting lost, among the swollen states
Oh rescue me, or bury me, for I care not what you do
There is one thing that I want to say - well am I really you?
Chorus:
Angeline, oh my Angeline
My sweet Angeline - you have rendered me unseen
I would cry a million smiles for my Indian City queen
