Angel

I've said it once and I'll say it again

I've got something hanging over my head

I was laying on your shoulder, perfectly content

Until you told me all over again



I ain't got no sob story to write

But just like everyone else I'm living this life

And you don't need to win me over

And there ain't no other side

To shelter me from, I'll belong where I decide



But you say we don't mess around

You've got no freedom to come down

We don't take angels from the sky

Oh, no we don't mess around

You're meant to be among the clouds

'Cause you're an angel

But that is a lie



Well I suppose you think I'm so flattered to hear

That I'm the whispered conscience in your ear

And that's exactly the reason that I'll never fit in here

Well nothing's ever that black and white my dear



Chorus:

I'm not your angel, darling

I'm not your angel, darling

I am never gonna be

I'm not your angel, darling

I'm not your angel, darling

I am never gonna be



We don't mess around

You've got no freedom to come down

We don't take angels from the sky

We don't mess around

You're meant to be among the clouds

'Cause you're an angel

But that is a lie
