Nick Teale - Angel Wings Lyrics

Won't someone buy me a pair of angel wings
To sail right over these cold and stormy seas
Feels like I'm drowning in an amber wave of grain
Well I'm tryin' not to drink it but it's all that numbs the pain

My friend above me, he flies on angel wings
His daddy bought them when he was just eighteen
Well he looks down on me as I struggle just to swim
He'll never understand the state that I am in

And I don't want no townhouse, no Mercedes-Benz
Just give me something to help me reach the end
And I don't give a damn about material things
But won't somebody buy me a pair of angel wings

When I was younger, I saw my daddy fly
Thought he had angel wings and I asked if I could try
Well he fell six miles and broke his smile into a toothless grin
He said "Sonny I can't help you fly, you'd just fall down again"

And I don't want no townhouse, no Mercedes-Benz
Just give me something to make this cycle end
And I don't give a damn about material things
But won't somebody buy me a pair of angel wings

And I don't want no townhouse, no Mercedes-Benz
Just give me something to help me reach the end
And I don't give a damn about material things
But won't somebody buy me a pair of angel wings
I said won't somebody buy me a pair of angel wings
