Lyrics

My horse was faster than an arrow,
More beautiful than Apollo.
I could ride the summer days away,
My hair stickin' out in every crazy way.

From the sands of Mauritania
To Himalayan mountain peaks,
And volcanic islands, we flew!

Then back to the bosom of my family,
With hugs and kisses and honey on toast...
And fairy tales, my momma's voice...
Then off to bed...

...and my daddy would come to my room at night.
He hurt me, I didn't know it wasn't right.
Didn't occur to me to put up a fight.
He did it for fifteen years.

Then I saw the light and took the chance,
Hit him on the head, knocked him out
And made him bleed.
(father) "You are my angel..."

I ran away
Couldn't go back home.
Hit the street
Had no place to eat or sleep.
I was ready to die.

[He said...]
Then, by chance, we met.
Now I've got a reason to keep living.
I'll do what I have to do.
I will take care of you.

[He said...]
You are my angel, (ricci)
I'm an avenging angel! (monster)
Gonna turn the tide,
Stop the flow of evil run amok!

You are my angel, (ricci)
I'm an avenging angel!
If I don't have a gun, I'll use a knife.
Whatever it takes to save a life.

I'll be a black widow looking for pray
To be cut up and tossed away...

The judge was a historian.
Had a lot to say about "deplorable morality".
Met him in a filthy cul-de-sac,
No need to say he won't be back.

He had a cash stash in his glove box.
We could be cozy in our own little love box.

The thief was a rotten male.
But he had a cute __* and I told him so.
Then I took his __* and cooked a stew.
Served it up and made him chew.

[He said...]

You are my angel. (ricci)
I'm an avenging angel!
Gonna hang him up 'til he's dry.
Bake his __* into a pie.

You are my angel. (ricci)
I'm an avenging angel!
There's not a chance they'll get away,
I've a thousand ways to make them pay.

You are my angel. (ricci)
I'm an avenging angel!
My gun is big with shiny chrome.
Bet he wished he'd stayed at home.

You are my angel. (ricci)
I'm an avenging angel!
If I don't have a gun I'll use a knife,
Whatever it takes to save a life.

If I could live my life all over,
Have it turn out another way.
I would tell all the little girls,
Don't be afraid if he comes to your room
And he makes you cry.
You can save your soul
Keep an ax nearby.
Just a few good wacks
And he'll be through.
Never will he be able to come after you!

You are my angel. (all sing)
I'm an avenging angel!
Gonna hang 'im up until he's dry.
Bake his _* into a pie.

You are my angel.
(sung to ricci) You are my angel.
(back to the man/victim)
I'm your final mademoiselle,
'cause you're goin' straight to hell.

You are my angel.
You can't fool me with that cough.
I'm gonna shoot your pecker off.

You are my angel.
If I don't have a gun I'll use a knife,
Whatever it takes to save a life.
[He said...]
