The Angel In The House Lyrics - Angel In The House - Story

My mother moved the furniture 

When she no longer moved the man 

We thought nothing of it at the time 

She painted walls, painted smiles 

Checked herself in the mirror one more time 

Then yoked her heart to a whim 

But the history of desire is such 

That just one word, just one touch 

Could send it reeling 

She passed, go again and again 

Never collected her two hundred 

Or landed on the purple with the Jones 

She wanted to be a different person 

She sat down, finally 

And he walked away, he walked away 

She listened to the angel, she said to flatter 

She said to coo, she said it won't matter 

I thought I was by myself 

But I cannot kill the angel in the house 

Even in my wildest heart 

I cannot kill the angel in the house 

The angel in the house, the angel in the house 

You hang on to the pieces of the game 

That don't talk back, don't sneak around 

Movable objects, but, where were we? 

Don't let anything happen 

We're back to the wheel 

Back to fire, onto the high wire 

'Cause she listened to the angel, she said to flatter 

She said to coo, she said it won't matter 

I thought I was by myself 

But I cannot kill the angel in the house 

Even in my wildest heart 

I cannot kill the angel in the house 

The angel in the house, the angel in the house 

The angel in the house, the angel in the house 

The angel in the house, the angel in the house
