Angel

Sarah Slean

I bought my angel on the 4th of July

I didn't plan it, it just happened that way

I guess faith stepped in the end

'Cause I needed you then


When I bought him they said "Are you sure?

No refunds, returns, or exchanges because once He's yours he's yours for good."

Now you behave like an angel should


'Cause I saw it on tv

They were selling pieces of heaven

And I thought, "Hey what about me?

What am I considered?"


I chained my angel to eaves trough

It was November and I think I pissed him off

He's mad but I don't care

You're my angel so there


I figure its only about 60 more years

So come on angel, stop all the tears

Come sing me a song or two

Or whatever it is you angels do


'Cause I saw it on tv

They were selling pieces of heaven

And I thought, hey what about me

When can I make reservations


My pet angel's got a long lost friend

Who says hes coming back when the world ends

When us humans have lost our touch

God never liked people that much


'Cause he saw it on tv

They were selling pieces of heaven

And he thought, "Well how can this be

What in the Hell are they thinking?"
