WRESTLING THE ANGEL

I leave my clothes behind - go to the outside of town
I leave my clothes behind - go to the outside of town
Gonna find me an angel, wrestle that angel down

I’ve got blood and wine in my veins, my mind is pure and strong
I’ve got blood and wine in my veins, my mind is pure and strong
Gonna to find me an angel, wrestle the whole night long

He’ll say, ‘I’m not of this world son, you got to let me be.’
He’ll say, ‘I’m not of this world son, you got to let me be.’
I’ll say, ‘I won’t release you until you go bless me.’

I leave my clothes behind, go to the outside of town
Gonna leave my clothes behind, go to the outside of town
Gonna find me that angel, wrestle the whole night long
Gonna find me that angel, wrestle that angel down -
Wrestle that angel down.
