Distorted Angel Lyrics by Elvis Costello

Distorted Angel Lyrics

    Strange things seem to occur, somewhere behind the nursery door
    Though i was just a bit of a kid, it was the bit that she was looking for
    Now i don't know where to begin confessing
    The way she's making me feel it can't be a sin

    I was taught to believe you were looking down on everyone
    And your benevolent face is beautiful to gaze upon
    Now i just don't know who to tell to go to hell
    Who put the old devil in the distorted angel?

    Distorted angel
    Pure illuminated sweetness
    Frightening small children is just about your only weakness
    I thought that you would tell me what i'm living for
    But i can't see you anymore

    I don't know what we did but i'm sorry if it made you cry
    And if there's any justice at all i'd be punished for it i'd surmise
    It will mark the spot very well where i fell
    Under the shadow of the distorted angel
    Beneath the shadow of the distorted angel
    Below the shadow of the distorted angel
    Angel
    Beneath the shadow of the distorted angel
    Below the shadow of the distorted angel
    Angel
