|
Tell the man who repairs the wings for angels |
|
That one has fallen among the mortals on |
|
Bleeker Street |
|
I lent a hand, she looked up at the steeples |
|
As if to blame them for the pavement beneath her feet |
|
She said, "I never much liked flying, but the job requires trying The hard part's avoiding buildings and concrete" (chorus) |
|
Spread the news, 'cause there's an angel in |
|
Manhattan |
|
Call out the paparazzi and the television crews |
|
Let the people choose |
|
Would a little |
|
Faith come to harm them? |
|
Print the headlines up in the |
|
New York Daily |
|
News It was just another day |
|
Like any other, other day |
|
A Tuesday afternoon |
|
I hailed a cab, a crowd gathered as it pulled beside us |
|
And somebody tore at her wings, but |
|
I helped her safely inside "I'm much obliged," she said, but the driver he looked shaken |
|
He said, "You're fakin', lady, who's taking who for a ride" |
|
But then we floated up over the traffic, she turned the radio to static, |
|
And she sang to him in |
|
Billy Holiday's sweet voice (chorus) |
|
Spread the news, 'cause there's an angel in |
|
Manhattan |
|
Call out the paparazzi and the the television crews |
|
Hey if you choose |
|
Would a little |
|
Faith come to harm you? |
|
Print the headlines up in the |
|
New York Daily |
|
News It was just another day |
|
What will the mayor say? "Good afternoon" |
|
We flew down the length of |
|
Fifth Avenue |
|
She threw out miracles, it was a hysterical ride |
|
And if the crowd on the sidewalk looked skeptical |
|
She took the blue right out of their cynical eyes "It's all in what you feel inside" |
|
She shook the mayor's hand, and he declared |
|
That he'd hold a press conference, |
|
The fans and protesters blocked the stairs to city hall "I'd like to thank you all," he said |
|
And when she stepped before the cameras |
|
It felt like a trial, but she smiled as the questions were called, "What do you say to detractors, who claim you're just some actor?" |
|
She said, "The question here, is 'Do I believe in you?'" |
|
It was just another day |
|
Like any other, other day (chorus) |
|
Spread the news, |
|
I saw an an angel fly from |
|
Manhattan |
|
In front of paparazzi, in front of television crews |
|
And me I choose |
|
I know a little |
|
Faith wouldn't harm me |
|
Despite what they print in the |
|
New York Daily |
|
News It was just another day |
|
Like any other, other day |
|
Like any day |
