Lyrics Angel Dust (Live) - Gil Scott-Heron

The secretary of entertainment is going to introduce you to
The melody because we'd like to have you join in
And help us sing the song called, "Angel Dust"
S'pose you did
Brothers and sisters and friends, what you have just experienced
Is called revival sphere
It's got a lovely voice
Angel dust
C'mon sing with us the second time
We get the tune, we want you all to come in
One, two, one, two
Angel dust
C'mon everybody, sing with us here
Angel dust
Y'all need to back up to sing 'round here
Angel dust
One more time, Liliana
Angel dust
Alright, we got it nearly done
He was groovin'
And that was when he coulda sworn
The room was movin'
Hey, but that was only in his mind
Because he was sailin'
He never really seemed to notice
Vision failin', hey
'Cause that was all part of the high
The sweat was pourin'
He couldn't take it
The room was exploding
He might not make it, sing
Angel dust
Oh sing it right, I got to sing it
They said it was angel dust
Don't need nobody, no good
Angel dust
But down some dead end streets
There ain't no turnin' back
Yeah, sometimes it comes sneakin' up on us
Angel dust
They were standin'
Everybody in a circle
The whole family
Listening to the preacher's words
Sis was cryin'
She alone knew the secrets
'Bout his dyin'
Tears fallin' to earth
Maybe her fault
'Cause he was so trusting
God only knew why
They was dustin', sing
Angel dust
Angels, alright, it's alright
Well somebody need to tell my sister about dust
Don't need nobody, no good, no where
Angel dust
It might seem like I just want more good time
But down some dead end streets
There ain't no turnin' back
To back, to back away
Away, away
I'm talkin' about the way, I mean
Send him away
Hey, I got to be there
I used to know, got to be there
I used to know, gotta be there, sing
Everything gonna be alright, everything gonna be alright
Somebody say down the way it's gon' be alright
Everything gonna be alright, everything gonna be alright
It's cool keep goin', keep goin', it's cool, everything gon' be alright
Everything gonna be alright, everything gonna be alright
Sisters, fathers, you don't worry, don't you worry everything gon' be alright
It gon' be alright, be alright, be alright, be alright
Heard somebody say that it gon' be alright
Everything gon' be alright, everything gon'
Everything gon', everything gon', everything he said
Hey, listen
I heard, he told me
Everything gonna be alright, everything
Everything gonna be alright, alright
Everything gonna be alright, alright
He was holdin' me down
Everything gonna be alright, everything gonna be alright
I was counting on you
You told me, got to be there
I used to know
'Cause he was groovin'
And that was when he coulda sworn
The room started movin'
He was sayin', but that was only in his mind
The sweat was pourin'
He couldn't take it
Room was exploding
Might not make it, sing (angel dust)
Tuck you in and say, somebody said it's angel dust
It don't mean nobody no good (angel dust)
It might seem like I just want more good time
Down some dead end street, ain't no turning back
To back, to back, to back, away
Away
Angel dust
It might seem like I just want more good times
Down some dead end street, ain't no turning back
Robert Gordon, the secretary of entertainment
On the bass, Ron Halloway, tenor saxophone
And it's called, "Angel Dust"
Thank you
