I've been an alleycat, I lived nine lives Just like a fine wine, I'm better with time Like a diamondback rattlesnake I have the rattle if it had the shake (Pre-Chorus) Until you, gimme something to believe in Until you, gimme something to sink my teeth into (Chorus) Now when the winds cry Angela Angela, I'll be there for you And when the storms scream Angela Angela, I'll be there I've been a poet always tongue in cheek I've seen some scenes man you'd never believe And like a supercharged rocket ride You know they'd have gasoline if they had the time (Pre-Chorus)
