When you sleep in white
You looks like a teen angel
Oh, heaven starts to sparkle light
Don't steal her soul tonight
Oh, tears start pouring out her eyes
Like the Twin Towers
Hairnet paradise
Lovers at midnight
Both hearts spin me right
Tears in our eyes
Drunken on train ride
You were new in town, oh my
You were new in town, oh my

So when you sleep in white
You looks like a teen angel
Oh, heaven starts sparkle light
Don't steal her soul tonight
Tears start pouring out her eyes
Like the Twin Towers
Hairnet paradise
Lovers at midnight
Both hearts spin me right
Tears in our eyes
Drunken on train ride
You were new in town, oh my
You were new in town, oh my God
You were new in town, oh my...

    General Comment:I think the lyric is:
    "You looks like a TEEN ANGEL"
    Also, when ever I heard the line: "Drunken on train ride", before reading these lyrics I thought it was "Drunken untrained eye"
    Either way, I love this song! I wonder why CocoRosie never play it!
    It reminds me of John Keat's poem, "Eve of St. Agnes", where Porphyro is staring at Madeline, as she sleeps.

    General Comment:*my interpretation is kinda the obvious..


    this song makes me feel like cocorosie is describing a teenage girl in which she is compared to an angel and how perfect she is and how much the artist loves her..and it describes the feelings created when staring at God's wonderful creation..i also think its about someone who is staring at a girl while she sleeps and praying that she doesnt die before she wakes...it really is just a beautifull song..PURE POETRY..
