Miller's Angels
From "Recovering The Satellites"

Miller's angels
In black and white
Welcome everyone in
Children dreaming
Of wrong and right
Wrapped in grace and in sin

CHORUS:
They come out of the blue sky
They come out of the blue
They come out of the blue sky
But you never know
Where they're gonna go
Hey Romeo

Miller's fingers are travelin'
Up the length of her thigh
MIller's eyes are still wanderin'
Staring up at the sky

CHORUS

You never know
Where they're gonna go
Hey, Romeo

Don't, don't come around

Miller's angels are hoverin'
In between the Earth and the sun
In the shadow of God's unwavering love
I am a fortunate son

CHORUS

No you never know
Where they're gonna go
Hey Romeo

Can't you hear me?
'Cause I'm screaming
I did not go outside yesterday
Oh don't wake me
Because I was dreamin'
And I might just stay inside again today
I don't go out much these days
Sometimes I stay inside all day

Won't you leave me, leave me, leave me, leave me alone?

Won't you leave me alone?




























    This to me was always one of the more darker CC songs.  Adam has said this song is about the concept that there are angels whose lone role in the universe is to linger and pluck you from this Earth when it's your time.  And what if you're this guy who can't stop thinking about it?  It is autobiographical in the context that Adam admits he has a problem thinking about things too much.  And from that point of view, he wrote this song.
     I identify with this song because I too think about things way too much.  I overanalyze every little detail and jump to conclusions and usually screw everything up because I get this little thought in my head that won't quit.
     I've gotten a little better with it lately, but I still have a long way to go.  And sometimes I think it's better to just stay in all day and not risk any more hurt.  But that's no way to live.  It's safer, but not necessarily better.
     So I'll live my life and take my chances and see what happens.  But for Miller, he chooses to hide.  Eventually, I think, it's in vain.  But he feels safer in the short run.  And sometimes that's enough.
