Lyrics

Mama never told you
How you were s'posed to treat a girl
Papa never told you, now you're all alone
Out in the world
Sirens are screaming
Inside the winding-sheets are pale
Devils are dreaming of a blue angel
Now I lay me down to sleep
But troubled dreams are all I find
Pray the lord my sould to keep
Pray so I won't lose my mind
Streetlights come streaming
On wings tonight I'll soon set sail
Devils are dreaming of the blue angel
Your momma's going to take it hard
You always were your momma's boy
You're lying in the graveyard
Now you're not your momma's joy
Silence is screaming
I'll bat an eye and cast my spell
Devils are dreaming of a blue angel
