"Angie Baby" lyrics - ALAN O'DAY

You live your life in the songs you hear
On the rock and roll radio
And when a young girl doesn't have any friends
That's a really nice place to go
Folks hopin' you'd turn out cool
But they had to take you outa school
You're a little touched you know, angie baby

Lovers appear in your room each night
And they whirl you 'cross the floor
But they always seem to fade away
When your daddy taps on your door
"Angie girl, are you all right?
Tell the radio good night."
All alone once more, angie baby

Angie baby, you're a special lady
Livin' in a world of make believe... Well, maybe

Stoppin' at her house is a neighbor boy
With evil on his mind
'Cause he's been peekin' in angie's room
Every night through the window blind
"I see your folks have gone away,
Would you dance with me today?
I'll show you how to have a good time, angie baby"

When he walks in her room, he feels confused
Like he walked into a play
And the music's so loud it spins him around
Till his soul has lost it's way
And as she turns the volume down
He's getting smaller with the sound
It seems to pull him off the ground
Toward the radio he's bound, never to be found

Well the headline reads that a boy disappeared
And everyone thinks he died
'Cept a crazy girl with a secret lover
Who keeps her satisfied
It's so nice to be insane, no one asks you to explain
Radio by your side, angie baby
