\"Angel<\/p>\n

T<\/span>here’s something reassuring and familiar and — get this<\/span> — liberating — in a hangover.<\/p>\n

That’s the way I used to feel.<\/p>\n

Sometimes, even a decade and a half later, waking up sluggish (musta fell asleep with my face in the pillow again) I’ll grasp my coffee mug with the sort of grimly firm grip of someone who thinks the still liquid morning might somehow melt through his fingers and end up a puddle on the kitchen floor.<\/p>\n

A hangover, I found, was a great excuse. Not for bosses, maybe. And not always for girlfriends.<\/p>\n

But when you stumbled out of bed, carefully putting one foot flatly in front of the other in that gravity-must-be-crazy-today walk of the seasoned, habitual drunk… you <\/span>knew you were doing the best you could… just stumbling into the blinding morning light.<\/p>\n

I miss that kind of certainty…<\/p>\n

\nAngel in the Bottle<\/i><\/b>
\n
\nThere’s an angel
\nin the bottle
\nbut the devil’s still alive
\ninside of me<\/p>\n

I’m sitting
\nhere in limbo
\ngot my whole life
\nin back of me<\/p>\n

Baby I thought<\/span>
\nI’d be the one to save you<\/span>
\nbut I never dreamed<\/span>
\nI couldn’t even save myself<\/span><\/p>\n

Well there’s one thing
\nthat by now is plain
\nthrough these forty years
\nof life death and change<\/p>\n

There’s something broken
\ndown inside of me
\ndeep down inside you see
\nI’ve got this pain
\n<\/span>
\nBaby I thought<\/span>
\nI’d be the one to save you<\/span>
\nbut I never dreamed<\/span>
\nI couldn’t even save myself<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

There’s an angel
\nin the bottle
\nbut the devil’s still alive
\ninside of me
