She's ready to shoot
She'll weigh her best shot
She's ready to shoot
Her neck feels hot
She wants it to be a one-hit
She wants that a lot
 
She'll put a reason in her mind
It's the only thing she'll hear
She'll put a reason in her mind
It's the only thing she'll hear
Build out of faith
To wash away the fear
 
The sweet, glazed glance
Of total madness in her eyes
The sweet, glazed glance
Of total madness in her own minds eye
It's like she's guarding some remote outpost
Of her sacred little empire in the sky
 
Ripping the seams off of acceptable human behavior
My baby's got a gun, she's going to use it for her savior
 
And in the main time my faith has left me
High up in the rafters
And in the main time my faith has left me
High up in the rafters
If there's no mercy in this land
Why would it be there in the ever after?

       Roy Kelton Orbison(April 23, 1936– December 6, 1988) was an American singer, songwriter, and musician known for his impassioned singing style, complex song structures, and dark, emotional ballads. His music was described by critics as operatic, earning him the nicknames "the Caruso of Rock" and "the Big O." Many of Orbison's songs conveyed vulnerability at a time when most male rock-and-roll performers chose to project defiant masculinity. He performed while standing motionless and wearing black clothes to match his dyed black hair and dark sunglasses, which he wore to counter his shyness and stage fright.

    Born in Texas, Orbison began singing in a rockabilly and country-and-western band as a teenager. He was signed by Sam Phillips of Sun Records in 1956, but enjoyed his greatest success with Monument Records. From 1960 to 1966, 22 of Orbison's singles reached the Billboard Top 40. He wrote or co-wrote almost all of his own Top 10 hits, including "Only the Lonely" (1960), "Running Scared" (1961), "Crying" (1961), "In Dreams" (1963), and "Oh, Pretty Woman" (1964).

             After the mid-1960s, Orbison suffered a number of personal tragedies and his career faltered. He experienced a resurgence in popularity in the 1980s following the success of several cover versions of his songs. In 1988, he co-founded the Traveling Wilburys (a rock supergroup) with George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, and Jeff Lynne. Orbison died of a heart attack in December 1988 at age 52. One month later, his song "You Got It" (1989) was released as a solo single, becoming his first hit to reach the US & UK Top 10 in nearly 25 years.

         Orbison's honors include inductions into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1987, the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1989, and the Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum in 2014. He received a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award and five other Grammy Awards. Rolling Stone placed him at number 37 on its list of the "Greatest Artists of All Time" and number 13 on its list of the "100 Greatest Singers of All Time". In 2002, Billboard magazine listed him at number 74 on its list of the Top 600 recording artists.

Oh blue angel, don't you cry just because he said goodbye

Oh, ahh ahh ahh no-oo don't cry

Oh blue angel, have no fear brush away lonely teardrops

Hey hey, whoa whoa, oo (yeh yeh, dum wah wah wah wah)

Well, love's precious flame can just burn in vain

But you're not to blame

You thought love was a game, oh such a shame

But don't you cry, don't sigh

I'll tell you why, I'll never say goodbye--blue angel

(Sha la la, dooby wah, dum dum dum, yeh yeh, um wah wah wah wah)

We'll have lovin' so fine, magic moments divine

If you'll just say you're mine I'll love you till the end of ti-i-ime

Don't you worry your pretty head

I'll never let you do-ow-ow-ow-ow-own

I'll always be arou-ou-ou-ou-ound, blue angel

(Sha la la, dooby wah, dum dum dum, yeh yeh, um)

Blu-ue an-an-gel (sha la la)

I’ve heard the rumors

I’ve heard the talk on the town

They say you’re a loner

They say that you ain’t sound

But I don’t believe any of that

I’ve got a whole nother view

Yeah I think there’s a treasure

Waiting for someone

To prove himself worthy and true

 

Yeah like a dandelion

My love’s stuck roots for you

Like a dandelion

My love’s gonna break right through

Those concrete floors and the stone laid walls

Will all be made to part

And my dandelion love

Is gonna reach your heart

 

I’ve asked you out

I’ve invited you in, ooh

I’ve shown you a real good time

The best you can have without having to sin

But I must admit

To having such motives up my sleeve

But I think that’s the treasure

Waiting for someone

To prove himself worthy and true

 

Yeah like a dandelion

My love’s stuck roots for you

Like a dandelion

My love’s gonna break right through

Those concrete floors and the stone laid walls

Will all be made to part

And my dandelion love

Is gonna reach your heart

 

Yeah like a dandelion

My love’s stuck roots for you

Like a dandelion

My love’s gonna break right through

Yeah like a dandelion

My love’s stuck roots for you

Like a dandelion

My love’s gonna break right through

Those concrete floors and the stone laid walls

Will all be made to part

And my dandelion love

Is gonna reach your heart

And my dandelion love

Is gonna reach your heart

And my dandelion love

Is gonna reach your heart.
