Too Many Angels

[Verse 1]
Too many angels near the ground
Buzzing 'round like lovely killer bees
Little knick knack cherubs, busybodies
Always putting on the squeeze
And all those shrill celestial voices
And a million phony holy wills to please
While our vain and pointless genuflections
Block the heart's connection to our knees

[Chorus]
Yeah, I want you
(I want you)
You're the only one
I need you
You're the only one that bleeds

[Hook]
Little knick-knacks, busybody
Little knick-knacks, busybody

[Verse 2]
Sheets and feathers, tarnished halos
Costumes for these wingless, grounded saints
They're either fallen, or they're broken up
Or a little bit too precious and quaint
There's not enough glue to mend them all
Not enough Spackle or paint
Always leaving much too early
Or predictably arriving much too late

[Chorus]
Yeah, I want you
(I want you)
You're the only one
I need you
You're the only one that bleeds

[Bridge]
Too many angels near the ground
They choose you, amuse you, or fill you with dread
They're beneath your feet and over your head
You see them hitchhiking or under your bed
They hang around gift shops pretending they're dead

[Verse 1]
Too many angels near the ground
Buzzing 'round like lovely killer bees
Little knick knack cherubs, busybodies
Always putting on the squeeze

[Chorus]
Yeah, I want you
You're the only one
I need you
You're the one only that bleeds

[Outro]
Yes, I need you
