    Story Behind the Song
    HEAR MY ANGEL...the police flush Kazoo
    out the woods with bloodhound search crews--chewing and snapping at his flesh. The court recommits him to the State Hospital, where he's severely medicated and put thru sessions of Electro-Shock Therapy.
    Kazoo just gets worse. He sinks down into the dark maw, weightless now--Thorazine in his arms..seeing thru walls&bone. Cresting in abject fits of iron-wilting lunacy...and violence...High above us all..then riding the electro-shocker back down into the Con-vulse Shafts...past the jiggling spirits in white.

    Lyrics
    HEAR MY ANGEL

    I gotta hear her cry.
    Got to hear my angel calling.
    And give a long sigh.

    My hair turns white.
    When I hear my angel calling.
    My blood run dry.
    Let it die.

    I hear her cry.
    I gotta hear my angel coming.
    I put it inside.

    Sometimes I pull the plow.
    And I hear my angel calling.
    She in my arms now.

    She gone down.
    But still I hear her calling.
    She broke an old vow.

    Hear my angel calling...my mind.
    She's calling me in my mind..
    She's my angel.
    And I am the straw shadow's thole.
    A slain saint, wading in the fields.
    Shading tinder piles on Grace Hill.
    Where I split my palms, thawed in thorn
    Against her whispering cheek.
    Now I'm fasting with the Scarecrows.
    Starving with the old whores...
    Where your chalk heart bought me.
    Your father's blessings are gonna haunt me.
    And the curse of this number...
    Is all that I own.
    Cause I smothered my last prayer
    Out where the devil
    Farmed his scars on my back.
    That's why I got my angel, man.
    She's mine.
    And I ain't never giving her back.
    I can't never give her back.
