Angelou
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Don't need a tour guide
Through these canyons of the heart,
What do you think these scars are for?
Baby I've been here before;
I don't need you to tell me
I've been falling apart;
Doesn't matter of you're rich or poor
Everybody's taking more and more -
Hey! now angel
Don't you think you've had enough,
Anyone else would run for cover,
But you're still playing tough,
Running barefoot through the morning rain
Down Challis Avenue,
Even your mother thinks I'm crazy
Chasing round with a girl like you.
CHORUS:
Angelou - what's the use,
In the night sky, sparks fly,
Everytime I think of you.
Hung up on the telephone,
'Cause I don't know who to call,
So I just sit in the Python Pit
With my back up against the wall,
Dominique keeps a place for me
Down on Challis Avenue,
Maybe baby, maybe I'm crazy,
Chasing round with a girl like you.
Angelou - what's the use,
In the night sky, sparks fly,
Everytime I think of you.
