Angel - Intellectual

[Chorus]

I think I need an angel

I keep lookin' up, hoping things might start lookin' up

You probably can't tell from this angle

But I think I need an angel

I think I need an angel

Bob is waiting for a dollar with shame in his eyes

Just needin' something to eat

And he's tired, so tired from sleeping on the street

Bob is feeling worn out all day and night

Had the shoes to rest on his feet

Prayin' to a God he's never seen

And he still believes in his hopes and his dreams

Like they ain't never really ever too far away

And lookin' up to the stars, he needs a prayer

Throwing words in the air, he screams

I think I need an angel

I keep lookin' up, hoping things might start lookin' up

You probably can't tell from this angle

But I think I need an angel

I think I need an angel

She was high and cryin', hidin' behind the thunderstorms

Maria says she's dyin', dyin' to be on a roll

But the angels' view from heaven's clouds

They want to try and settle down

It's a sign I wouldn't mind

Trying to see while I'm out here all alone

Now she's staring down a busy street, as the cars fly by

From the window, she keeps standing on the ledge

From the edge, she keeps screaming out

I think I need an angel

To save me from myself

Well, I think I need an angel

I keep lookin' up, hoping things might start lookin' up

You probably can't tell from this angle

But I think I need an angel

I think I need an angel

To save me from myself

Oh Lord, I think I need an angel

To save me from myself
