Ranger Angel (Song for Black Rock Rangers) Lyrics

I was out last night ‘til half-past dawn

Been out all day in the desert sun

A little burned out, but I feel just fine

My Ranger shift last night, you see, almost got the best of me

Almost made me lose my mind

I Rangered city lights last night, I Rangered this city right last night

I Rangered playa fires born to meet a morning star

I Rangered desert dirt last night

But I nearly lost my Ranger shirt last night

When a Ranger Angel stirred my heart

Was early in my shift, a vision flew into my sight

An Angel dressed in playa dust and wings of colored light

She said, “I’m your Angel, Ranger, I’ll be your guide tonight

I’ll walk with you through fire and electric wire light

Tonight will be so beautiful, tears will clear our eyes

I’m your Angel, Ranger, everything’s alright

We’ll Ranger city lights tonight, we’ll Ranger this city right tonight

We’ll Ranger playa fires born to meet a morning star

We’ll Ranger desert dirt tonight, I’ll wear your Ranger shirt tonight

You can Ranger my Angel heart”

I said, “I’m a Ranger, Angel, you can’t dose me with your smile

Or with your sparkly eyes, your Ranger Angel style

I’m on duty, but in a while

When Khaki sets me free, maybe you and I’ll”

Then suddenly she looked up high at somethin’ in the sky

I didn’t see it, but she followed it, didn’t say good-bye

Just flew away and left a trail of sparkles in my eyes

And vanished like a firefly in the playa sky

I better call this in, I said “Khaki Khaki, Tikidaddy, I need sanctuary

I just saw an Angel, I’m a little wary that my

State of mind might not be right for Rangerin’ tonight”

She said, “Tikidaddy, Khaki, you just saw a Ranger Angel

I’ll call a green dot just in case, ‘cuz some say they’re a fable

But Rangers who can see ‘em say they help ‘em through the night

Allcom, Tikidaddy’s Rangerin city lights tonight

In a Ranger Angel’s sights tonight

Rangerin’ playa fires born to meet a morning star

He’s Rangerin’ desert dirt tonight, he’s Rangerin’ Angel flirt tonight

I think a Ranger Angel’s playin’ with his heart”

Just then my Angel reappeared and said, “Where did ya go?”

I said, “I’ve been here all along,” she said, “I know, let’s go

I smell bacon makin’ on a mornin’ playa stove

Your shift is over, Ranger, its time to take you home”

Next thing I remember, I’m here pickin’ this guitar

Singin’ out a song about an Angel and a mornin’ star

Wonderin’ how I got here, wonderin’ how you burners are

Wonderin’, have you seen a Ranger Angel flyin’ by

Wonderin’, if you see her, will ya tell her I’m alright

Tell her I’ll be wanderin’ the deep playa tonight”

I’ll see this city’s lights tonight from the deep playa tonight

I’ll burn a playa fire to meet a morning star

I’ll dance in desert dirt tonight, maybe romance Angel flirt tonight

If my Ranger Angel comes back with my heart

Yeah I was out last night ‘til half past dawn

Been out all day in this desert sun

I’m a little burned out, but I feel just fine
