Lyrics:

                                                  
[v1]
The welcome signs, Angel, are all turned around
There are seabirds, stray cats, boats moored aground
The lighthouse goes dark when our island shuts down
Where will you stay, Angel, with no johns in town?

[chours]
Dance with me, Angel, in your ragged white dress
It's been torn at your thighs, ripped at your breasts
Dance with me, Angel, in your ragged white dress

[v2]
Stay with me, Angel, I can find stuff to eat
I have a cart full of blankets, I have coffee and heat
I close my eyes and these cobblestone streets
Fill up with tourists, Angel, coins fall at my feet 

[chours]
Dance with me, Angel, in your ragged white dress
It's been torn at your thighs, ripped at your breasts
Dance with me, Angel, in your ragged white dress

[v3]
Walk with me, Angel, to the downtown cafe
We can sneak in a side door, the jukebox still plays
If bottles are broken, I'll sweep them away
If you want to cry, Angel, I'll dry your pretty face

[chours]
Dance with me, Angel, in your ragged white dress
It's been torn at your thighs, ripped at your breasts
      The harbors empty, all your bully boys left
      Winter is spreading a blanket of death 
Dance with me, Angel, in your ragged white dress 

[bridge]
Pick a slow song from long ago
When this dress was new and this place never closed
Before the war shook me and left me in these beggar's cloths

[chours]
Dance with me, Angel, in your ragged white dress
It's been torn at your thighs, ripped at your breasts
      My hearts not empty, we're the only ones left
      A ghost singer's crying 'I'm lonely as death'
Dance with me, Angel, in your ragged white dress
