Karyn Oliver: Music

Drag Your Angel Up

(Karyn Oliver)

words and music by Karyn Oliver Lehr, 2006

I just wrote this. Some of this is political, but if I'm really honest I have to admit that a lot of it stems from my early education. I recorded this with Cubase in my living room - one mic, one take. It's very raw (literally just hours old). If you like it, let me know. If not, well, it's my song isn't it? ;-)

Cover your hair girl, cover your mouth
Cover your breasts, cover your doubt
Cover your ankles, cover your past
Cover your fingers, cover your ass

Drag your angel back up yeah
Send her to heaven with your holy bible
Drag your angel up, yeah
She’ll never fall again

Cover your feelings, cover your thoughts
Cover your questions, show ‘em your cross
Cover your coughing, cover your lack
Cover your wounds and watch your back

Drag your angel back up yeah
Send her to heaven with your holy bible
Drag your angel up, yeah
She’ll never fall again

Cover your beauty, cover your name
Cover your windows, give ‘em your shame
Cover your power, cover your will
Cover your pride girl, for god’s sake stand still

Drag your angel back up yeah
Send her to heaven with your holy bible
Drag your angel up, yeah
She’ll never fall again
