I Could Use An Angel Lyrics - John Hiatt

Who tipped you off 

How could she betray me 

These hungry fingers 

They found us guilty for love 

And she said her lips were sealed 

Easing my conscience 

Now what has been done 

That you were the first one to know 

I thought we were sleeping 

Who said that dreams don't come true? 

This was her dream for revenge 

She had to tell you 

(Chorus) 

I could use an angel 

Can't refuse an angel 

Got business with an angel 

She was no angel

Wearing that coat 

You look like an amateur spy 

How come you're not angry? 

She wore your heart like a charm 

A bracelet of boys on her wrist 

Why aren't you angry? 

Here on my bed 

Tears on my bed 

Mixed with the dust 

Of things that she said 

Burning a trust 

Like a salt burns the wound 

Like a capsule burns up 

When it enters the atmosphere 

Were you consumed 

From the takeoff of this doomed mission 

Photos 

(Chorus) 

I could use an angel 

Can't refuse an angel 

Got business with an angel 

She was no angel 

I guess we must be brothers 

We share a common traitor 

We cancel each other 

Hoisting her elevator 

I never meant to hurt you 

I'll never be converted 

I want the host of angels 

(Chorus) 

I could use an angel 

Can't refuse an angel 

Got business with an angel 

She was no angel
