Are You An Angel? Lyrics - Singles - The Gathering Field

Born with blue eyes filled with pain 

In March of 1922 

Mystic fire in your veins 

Mama's apron strangling you 

Mama's apron strangling you 

Mama's apron strangling 

Young Jack Kerouac running up and down the football track 

Are you an angel now? 

Strong Jack Kerouac, once you're gone you can't come back, no 

Are you in pain still? 

Walking New York City streets 

High on Benzedrine and wine 

On the road and feeling beat, yeah 

But chasing kicks and running blind 

Chasing kicks and running blind 

Chasing kicks and running 

Wild Jack Kerouac, talking in a beat up Cadillac 

Are you an angel now? 

Drunk Jack Kerouac, once you're gone you can't come back, no 

Are you in pain still? 

Prayer on a red sunny Sunday afternoon 

I bet you felt the wind blow through your hair 

I bet you knelt down in a summer field and said a prayer 

Hell, I can bet you said a prayer, yeah, alright 

In '69 you found the prize 

With bloated Buddha, belly up 

But ecstasy your suicide 

Sorrow filled your loving cup 

Sorrow filled your loving cup 

Sorrow filled your loving 

Sad Jack Kerouac, sitting down beside the Merrimac, yeah 

Are you an angel now? 

Drunk Jack Kerouac, once you're gone you can't come back, no 

Are you in pain still? 

Fat Jack Kerouac, stumbling along the railroad track, yeah 

Are you an angel now? 

Dead Jack Kerouac, once you're gone you can't come back, no 

Are you an angel? 

Are you an angel? 

Are you an angel? 

Are you an angel?
