lyrics

I think I met an angel the other day. Good or evil it’s hard to say, but I’ll never be the same. I think I’ve be saved.
And I shook; I quivered in terror as I asked her name. She was sweeter than sugar or honey, she said her name was Lily Gray. Now I know I’ll never be the same. Oh I swear I’ll change. I swear I’ll never be the same.
Now I know it’s not safe for a man like me to be so addicted in this way. I’m so undeserving, I’m damned and I know it, but I did what I had to.
“Hey mister looks like you’ve got some pain behind those eyes.” “Well darling you’ve got no idea, but please call me Eli.” She agreed and smiled. She had to be mine.
“Come on just one last job, just one last hit, please man I need this. I know the man you are. I know the man you’ve been. Eli McArthur don’t you lie to yourself, you’re damned just like me, I don’t care what you felt. You’re a murdering man, I’ve seen blood on those hands, and she’ll see it too, she’ll know the truth.”
And he shook; he quivered in anger as I walked away. He was bitter and jealous and lonely, he had nothing but his games to play. Now I rang up my girl, told her to take a cab downtown. Oh how I’ve changed. Oh how I’ve changed.
And I took her out that night. We enjoyed the sounds and sights and I knew it was true. So I told her “baby you’ve got me here on my knees, and I’ve got this ring, and I want you to wear it and stay with me.” And she said “I’ve never been so happy I just might die” as tears began to fill her eyes but I wiped them away as I gently touched her face. Then we did nothing but just stand in place on the street in the heat of July, just staring into each other’s eyes, oh so happy to be alive.
Of course everything comes to an end, don’t dare think that you can forget. You can’t quit a life, you’ve got to bury it. So I’ll kill this lie so you can keep your life. You’ll thank me in due time. You’ll thank me in the end.
