Nerissa & Katryna Nields - Glow In The Dark Plastic Angel lyrics

rate me

You came by in the hat your mother knit you<br />

In clothes that do not fit you anymore<br />

You sat down in the corner of my bedroom<br />

I hung the, 'Closed for Good' sign on my door<br />

<br />

I said, "Nothing works today, everything is broken<br />

Everything is choking on ambivalence"<br />

You put a plastic angel on my desk and said<br />

"I cannot fix this but this may help<br />

To move you towards deliverance"<br />

<br />

Glow in the dark plastic angel<br />

It's the first day of spring<br />

Nothing's making sense anymore<br />

Seventy five miles an hour, let freedom ring<br />

I finally get what my wings are for<br />

I finally get what my wings are for<br />

<br />

All day long Mom and Dad were fighting<br />

Thunder and lightning through the walls<br />

Sticks and stones can break a heart to pieces<br />

But it's nothing like the damage from no phone calls<br />

<br />

I wish that I could speak, I'd tell her not to bother<br />

I'd tell her he's my father, not the king<br />

I wish that he would stay but he won't be held by duty<br />

I wish he saw the beauty in the ring<br />

<br />

Glow in the dark plastic angel<br />

It's the first day of spring<br />

Nothing's making sense anymore<br />

Seventy five miles an hour, let freedom ring<br />

I finally get what my wings are for<br />

I finally get what my wings are for<br />

<br />

You came by when everything was broken<br />

Bringing me this token of your love<br />

You laughed and said, "It's only superstition<br />

But I'm making it my mission to relieve you<br />

Of this tired broken world"<br />

<br />

"There's just no way to fight it<br />

Sit down and be quiet, I won't go<br />

Here's an angel for your desk, it's only a reminder<br />

I'm leaving her behind so you will always know I'm here"<br />

<br />

Glow in the dark plastic angel<br />

It's the first day of spring<br />

Nothing's making sense anymore<br />

Seventy five miles an hour, let freedom ring<br />

I finally get what my wings are for<br />

I finally get what my wings are for
