Lyrics She Talks to Angels (Live Broadcast 1991) - The Black Crowes

She never mentions the word addiction
In certain company
Yes, she′ll tell you she's an orphan
After you meet her family
She paints her eyes as black as night now
Pulls those shades down tight
Yeah, she gives a smile when the pain come
The pain gonna make everything alright
Says she talks to angels
They call her out by her name
Oh yeah, she talks to angels
Says they call her out by her name
She keeps a lock of hair in her pocket
She wears a cross around her neck
Yes, the hair is from a little boy
And the cross is someone she has not met
Not yet
Says she talks to angels
Says they all know her name
Oh yeah, she talks to angels
Says they call her out by her name
She don′t know no lover
None that I ever seen
Yeah, to her that ain't nothin'
But to me, yeah me
Means everything
She paints her eyes as black as night now
She pulls those shades down tight
Oh yeah, there′s a smile when the pain comes
The pain gonna make everything alright
Alright, yeah heah
She talks to angels
Says they call her out by her name
Oh, yeah, heah, angels
Call her out by her name
Oh, ooh, oh, oh, angels
They call her out by her name
Oh, oh, oh, she talks to angels
They call her out
Yeah, ee, eah, eah, eah, eah
Call her out
Don′t you know that they
Call her out by her name?
