Ellis Paul - Angel In Manhattan Lyrics
Tell the man who repairs the wings for angelsThat one has fallen among the mortals on bleeker streetI lent a hand, she looked up at the steeplesAs if to blame them for the pavement beneath her feetShe said, I never much liked flying, but the job requires tryingThe hard parts avoiding buildings and concrete(chorus)Spread the news, cause theres an angel in manhattanCall out the paparazzi and the television crewsLet the people chooseWould a little faith come to harm them?Print the headlines up in the new york daily newsIt was just another dayLike any other, other dayA tuesday afternoonI hailed a cab, a crowd gathered as it pulled beside usAnd somebody tore at her wings, but I helped her safely insideIm much obliged, she said, but the driver he looked shakenHe said, youre fakin, lady, whos taking who for a rideBut then we floated up over the traffic, she turned the radio to static,And she sang to him in billy holidays sweet voice(chorus)Spread the news, cause theres an angel in manhattanCall out the paparazzi and the the television crewsHey if you chooseWould a little faith come to harm you?Print the headlines up in the new york daily newsIt was just another dayWhat will the mayor say?Good afternoonWe flew down the length of fifth avenueShe threw out miracles, it was a hysterical rideAnd if the crowd on the sidewalk looked skepticalShe took the blue right out of their cynical eyesIts all in what you feel insideShe shook the mayors hand, and he declaredThat hed hold a press conference,The fans and protesters blocked the stairs to city hallId like to thank you all, he saidAnd when she stepped before the camerasIt felt like a trial, but she smiled as the questions were called,What do you say to detractors, who claim youre just some actor?She said, the question here, is do I believe in you?It was just another dayLike any other, other day(chorus)Spread the news, I saw an an angel fly from manhattanIn front of paparazzi, in front of television crewsAnd me I chooseI know a little faith wouldnt harm meDespite what they print in the new york daily newsIt was just another dayLike any other, other dayLike any day
