I think I need an angel (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 (angel) I think I need an angel (angel) Bob is waiting for a dollar with shame in his eyes Just needin' somethin' to eat And he's tired, so tired from sleepin' on the street Bob is feelin' worn out all day and night Had the shoes to rest on his feet Prayin' to a God he'd 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 Throwin' words in the air, he screams I think I need an angel (angel) I keep lookin' up, hopin' things might start lookin' up You probably can't tell from this angle But I think I need an angel (angel) I think I need an angel (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 Tryin' to see while I'm runnin' all alone Now she's starin' down a busy street, as the cars fly by From the window, she keeps standin' on the ledge From the edge, she keeps screamin' out I think I need an angel To save me from myself Well, I think I need an angel (angel) I keep lookin' up, hopin' things might start lookin' up You probably can't tell from this angle But I think I need an angel (angel) I think I need an angel (angel) To save me from myself Oh Lord, I think I need an angel To save me from myself
