Where Angels Fear to Tread

The ruthless turbaned bandit

Turns his back upon the cradle

As angry as you ever can recall

And even though its raining

You're yet to join the flowers on the wall

I've waited for a chance

To paint your blue town red

Slept where monsters dance

On the flowers in your hand

Fools go rushing in

Where angels fear to tread

The late night contingent

Has a question that it poses

And they're smoking all

The flowers you've arranged

And the blind poet enters

Beheading all you roses

To make up for the beauty

You've regained

I've waited for a chance.....

A heart may break in a twist of fate

And be thrown upon the pile

My bed still whirls though I see other girls

When I stare a thousand miles

A heart may break in a certain time and place

But a friend still knows

If its her kiss on your smile

Your yellow dressed Athena

Assaults your very windows

And troubles all the clouds

Around your bed

And in the nearby land of the lovers

The one-eyed man is crazy

Cause lovers are too blind

To hear a word that the fool has said

I've waited for a chance.....
