Jane Siberry - Angel Voyeur

the hounds are running in the alley-way below
underlining all her sins

across the alley
there is a rented room
there is a girl
I watch I watch her

yellow cotton curtains
the tiles are black and white
why are you home early?
is this another one of those nights?

straighten up the lilacs
straighten up your hair over to the mirror
what do you see there?

you know why he is living
on a separate street away from you
usually you can forget
but tonight the hounds they get to you

the hounds are running in the alley-way below....
underlining all her sins

magnets in the mirror
usually you croon
but tonight you are no beauty
in your rented room
