She Talks to Angels Lyrics:
She never mentions the word addiction
In certain company
Yes, she’ll tell you she’s an orphan
After you meet her family

She paints her eyes as black as night, now
Pulls those shades down tight
Yeah, she gives a smile when the pain comes,
The pain’s gonna make everything alright

Says she talks to angels,
They call her out by her name
She talks to angels,
Says they call her out by her name

She keeps a lock of hair in her pocket
She wears a cross around her neck
Yes, the hair is from a little boy
And the cross is someone she has not met, not yet

Says she talks to angels,
Says they all know her name
Oh yeah, she talks to angels,
Says they call her out by her name

She don’t know no lover,
None that I ever seen
Yes, to her that ain’t nothing
But to me, yeah me,
It’s everything

She paints her eyes as black as night now
She pulls those shades down tight
Oh yeah, there’s a smile when the pain comes,
The pain’s gonna make everything alright, alright yeah

She talks to angels,
Says they call her out by her name
Oh yeah, yeah, angels
Call her out by her name
Oh, angels
They call her out by her name
Oh, she talks to angels
They call her out
Yeah, they call her out
Don’t you know that they call her out by her name GA_googleFillSlot("lyricsfreak-300x50-btf");

She Talks to Angels: Success
In between the heights of Glam Metal and Alternative in 1990, the Black Crowes struck a chord with fans looking for something different. Crowds of people bought Black Crowes tickets because the band offered a Blues-Rock sound that had not been prevalent in more than a decade. What was old was certainly new, and the Black Crowes became an improbable multi-platinum success. Singles from debut Black Crowes album Shake Your Money Maker like “Jealous Again” and “Hard to Handle” did well, but acoustic single “She Talks to Angels” sold the most Black Crowes tickets than any cut on the album.

“She Talks To Angels” was a dark song about drug addiction and the troubles it causes, but many mainstream audiences jumped on the solid acoustic sound. Appearing at just the right time, fans with Black Crowes tickets came from the previous generation that missed classic Blues-Rock and from the young generation that despised Glam Metal. Shake Your Money Maker would go multi-platinum and made front man Chris Robinson a superstar. A sold-out tour with ZZ Top only helped Black Crowes tickets sell to the Classic-Rock generation.

She Talks to Angels: On Tour
When on tour, the Black Crowes do not have a set list written in stone and often change it from gig to gig. Fans with Black Crowes tickets talk with fans around the country to see what songs they heard live compared to their local show. Big hits like “Remedy” and “She Talks to Angels” are even regularly not played live while other songs can be played for an audience for the first time ever. “She Talks to Angels” is often used in the encore, but fans with Black Crowes tickets never know what they are going to get from every high-energy tour date and gig.
