The Angel Song

歌詞

I dreamt I was in Heaven And I was sitting in a bar With all the other angels, You were smoking a cigar One hand on your hip And one foot on a chair And a golden ostrich feather That was planted in your hair And if I really were an angel, I'd float over your bed Each night a different dream of me I'd plant inside your head And if I were an angel, I tell you what I'd do I'd appear in a vision And I'd give my wings to you And I'd say, "come closer Fly into the light And please, please don't be stupid Let me sleep tonight" No I'd say, "Please don't be stupid Let me sleep tonight" I dreamt you were a genie And I found you in the sand And you were trapped inside a bottle And I held you in my hand And you said you'd grant me wishes If you were ever freed I said "an empty head when I go to bed Is all I'll ever need" So I, of course, released you, hoping you would keep your word And you laughed the cruellest laugh that I had ever heard And you said, "About these wishes, it's too late to decide" But I remembered that it was my dream... so I put you back inside I dreamt I was a pirate Aboard a pirate ship And for a hand I had a hook And for a heart I had a whip And you were trapped inside your bottle And I kept you down below And you begged me to release you... But I would not let you go One night I was awoken While we were out at sea By a floating apparition Glowing incandescently And I could see you clearly As all around was black And you tore off both your wings, said "Hey now you can have them back!" And you said "come closer Fly into the light And please, please don't be stupid Let me sleep tonight" No you said, "Please don't be stupid Let me sleep tonight Tonight ... tonight
